The nice thing about not being christian, is I want to know what god/dess things about something ... I ask.
Oh, and then I make up my OWN mind about my course of action. But I have always loved watching you guys go at it. If only I had a microwave ... this needs popcorn. I'll just go back to playing those cool games.

yeah, I have no objection to christians saying that "this is A path to being a good christian" I even agree with most of the rules...MOST of them. but to say that the King James Bible or the emoticon bible cougar uses is the word of god? Are those disgusting little comic book versions the word of god too? what;s the difference, then? how do we know that the translators aren't as effed up as the dork that writes those?
beestie, you;re right. the word of god is in your head if you can only hear it. No need to read someone else's interpretation. halleluiah! can i get an amen?

look. Let me give you an example.
write the following sentence in different words, sinonyms are allowed but cannot be used more than 3 times in a row, and see how the meaning remains. Ok, here it is. The cat was not eating pork in the backyard. The Word can change in individual words, yet it will never loose its meaning.

Now try it countless times, over a period of 2000 years, and have the process managed by several competing governments.

the black shadow was not devouring the boar in the wild lands behind the village
the kitten was not nibbling on the pork chop on the patio out the back.
