   Yeah I'm always shocked when some nimrod or neophyte   
   finds some factual error or contradiction in the bible,   
   and thinks that they accomplished something. About the   
   only thing more ridiculous would be the fundy who thinks   
   that the more they believe it's all literally true, despite   
   errors/contradictions/idiocy, the better they are than   
   the rest of us...   
      
   So the Protestant bible is the literal word of God, as   
   bestowed upon mankind by God... why did it take him a   
   second draft?  The original version held the so called   
   "apocrypha." So I guess God got it literally wrong? The   
   literally true word of God was literally false? He needed   
   some heavy editing to get it right?   
      
   Everyone makes me sick, except those who make me ill...
