Re: Is The King James Version The Only Perfect Translation Of The Bible?

[vernon O]

IMNSHO there should only be two commandments:

Thou Shalt Not Worship
Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You


I want a T-shirt that says this:

I deny God the Father
I deny God the Son
I deny God the Holy Spirit

(oops, thats me damned for all eternity. But I wouldnt want to spend one
second with the evil, psychopathic scumbag that is the abrahamic god, so
Im OK with that


Rich, see if you can track down an australian cult movie, Bad Boy Bubby. I
think you will really like it. Its about a boy who has never left his
house - and he's 35. There is a very memorable line:

"it is the moral imperative of every human being to think god out of
existence"



And, as far as the bible goes, Rachard Dawkins makes a pretty good point
re. the bible being the literal word of god - there are several thousand
antiquarian bibles in existence, and they are ALL DIFFERENT. Of course
having read the old & new testaments, I could simply attribute this to god
being a paranoid schizophrenic, but Ockhams razor suggests that the bible
is an entirely man-made creation. Google Mithras

This "vernon" character seems to think that being "educated" means
accepting his church's dogma and not being able to think for yourself.
What's really funny is the complete denial of reality.

Here are some of the facts. The part of the U.S. with the highest
teenage pregnancy rate is the Bible Belt. Then there is divorce,
described at <http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_dira.htm>:

Variation in divorce rates by religion:
Religion % have been divorced
Jews 30%
Born-again Christians 27%
Other Christians 24%
Atheists, Agnostics 21%

Then see
<http://boston.com/news/globe/editor...2004/10/31/walking_the_walk_on_family_values/>:

"But don't take the US government's word for it. Take a look
at the findings from the George Barna Research Group. George
Barna, a born-again Christian whose company is in Ventura,
Calif., found that Massachusetts does indeed have the lowest
divorce rate among all 50 states. More disturbing was the
finding that born-again Christians have among the highest
divorce rates."

<http://www.cdc.gov/std/stats00/slides/stdinadolya/sld006.htm> will
give some indication of how the Bible belt does in the STD department.

For a real hit piece, see

I'll stay with the "sinners" in San Francisco any day - its safer.

Dogma != education

there are some moderately useful bits in the bibles, to do with running
successful agrarian communities. But its couched in so much textual
diarrhoea (and outright evil) that its all but swamped.

I especially liked the book of Job. That God character is insecure, and
a complete ****.

Leviticus is great too. The penalty for fucking your uncles wife is
hilarious.

"Imperfect Christian 'men'" seem to do a lot of bashing (e.g., Vernon's
"Atheist = uneducated always" garbage). It's that bashing that leads
to web sites like the one I cited that I called a "hit piece" - these
so-called Christians piss everyone else off and some people bash back.

The Buddhists don't tend to bash people, so they don't generate the
same sort of negative reaction.

I'm curious, though. Do you consider CDC data on disease rates broken
down by state to be bashing when all that is stated is the data or a
citation to it? I'm sure some Christians don't like it because it
makes their hypocrisy all too clear. When you take a "holier than
thou" attitude, it sort of helps to have all the objective measures
of "sinfulness" in your favor.

It's still safer.

Nobody will "push" you to sin, with a possible exception if you are a
real hottie, but the "sinners" *will* expect you to return the favor.
You can, however, expect some smirks if you turn up at the corner of
18th and Castro and loudly tell your wife Malphasia, "Did you see that?
Is it a man or a woman? Now Ah've seen *everything*!"

just what you feel like doing to them."(OOps! Somebody else wrote this

Nah, it's just that they're as dogmatic as the fundies.

I claimed to be an agnostic, until I actually felt the Mother
herself inside me.

But nobody wants to look at her hiding place, because it's at
the Root Chakra.

And when my root chakra opened, there was no longer any doubt
in my mind - kind of like an epiphany, but I did find out that
the "god" that everybody's been worshiping and cowtowing to for
all of these millenia has been Satan all along.

I also discovered what the word "ineffable" means. ;-)

So you don't know what educated means and assume somehow that it is linked
to a deist or theist religion.

Yep
Atheist = uneducated.
Uneducated in the earth, universe, feild systems
EVERY TIME
ALL of the time.

YOUR interpretation is oriented around your penis.
EVERY one of your references above states such.


You can't even figure out what "translation" means.

Yep, the point, "When they are not pushy about it."

People can do what they want (as long as it doesn't "touch" me or mine.)
Don't tell me I have to like it.
I'm one of those nitwits who would be perfectly happy if all drug "control"
was removed.
Even prescription drugs.
