re: #209 Alouette

What does the Book of Jonah want to teach you? The lesson is that you can not run away from your responsibility.

The Books of Jonah, Job and Esther were writtten as works of fiction, they were part of a debate on various points of jewish doctrine and fainth.

They were not meant to be taken literally. But they are taken literally by people who insist that it cannot be otherwise.
