It has been retrospectively edited and modified by modern technology (googlebots did most of the translation - to avoid human error) that it can now finally be considered the actual accurate word of God himself!
Fair enough?
Translated from what though?
Well, see, an angel came down to this sleeping carpet merchant in a cave and dictated the whole story to........
Oh wait. That's a different fairy tale.

Oh, I love this. I love this so much. 
Sentences like this are rare treats, ones so laden with assumptions and blustering presupposition that they practically vibrate, just stretched taut with unexamined, thoughtless certainty. It's just the best.

Your ignorance is beyond belief and you opinion is IMHO worthless.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

There are original notes and papers dealing with the process although they are kept in university libraries and obviously not accessible to the general public. Perhaps you should read his book?
Ok, watched it tonight. Really enjoyed it up too about the 37th minute and then it seemed to lose its way. Has definitely given me food for thought.

You should try following his example. He's here to interact with us as people. Not to harvest cult members.
Pete's a good man. He doesn't automatically think us inferior just because we disagree with him (well from his posts anyway).
He is worthy of respect.

Hey, don't mock.
We all have voices that tell us to do things!
Don't we?
I thought everyone did...

And that is because the bible is so self contradictory and logically inconsistent that anybody reading it with an open mind would realise that no god could have possibly been behind it.

For sure. I hear my Mommy saying, "Don't listen to them! God told me you're a special little boy. So special" every Friday night as I don my sequined dress and put my machete in my purse.
People who don't hear voices have lost their connection to the Truth.
