I've got lots of Bibles, and I wouldn't burn any of them. There are no gods, but the critical study of these texts is very important, and also a heck of a lot of fun.

The KJV certainly makes understanding difficult on the current day layperson. I almost wonder if those churches that insist on the KJV do so because it is so much easier to make the recondite text mean anything you need it to. Translations in present-day idiom sometimes reveal the plain sense of verses that really raise the hackles on modern sensibilities. ("Slaughter everyone but keep the virgins for yourselves? It really says that?!?")

Bibles tend to burn me.

My initial post was obviously facetious, I'm not a fan of book burning of any sort.

Oh really?? YOUR post was "obviously" facetious? I Like That.


Why obvious? Was it ridiculous on its face? Or is that a bit less obvious to others than it is to you yourself?

I see what you did there. Cute.

I don't feel like playing.

Of course you don't.
