Fuzzy I told you I've seen the stuff you put up plenty of times before, when my hand gets well we'll take them one at a time, at your choice. NV keep thinking I'm stupid it's more than fine with me, I also noticed you did not deny my claim about you copying, which you did, you brought nothing new to the table.
Be patient children my hand will heal.

673 bible verse comparisons will take you a long time, GC. I was raised "Southren Babtist" (I assume your misspelling is a jab at the literacy and accent of most members) -> Pentecostal. I have most of the bible memorized. I've been told everything from "you're not reading it right" to "it's not a contradiction, god will explain it in heaven". There are also the "mis-translations" and "it means something different in this context as it does in that one". Others default to "it's not to be taken literally, you have to read it for spiritual insight". So I really hope you have something new to bring to the table. Maybe you can just get god to come with you and explain it. God shouldn't need human help. He created the universe, right?
I'm with robvalue: (to paraphrase in my own style) if somebody has to interpret (explain, and make excuses for) a book that god supposedly wrote to get his message to humankind - then god didn't do a very good job.
There was a very good reason that the Catholic church would only hold services in Latin, and only let priests "interpret" the Bible readings for much of the church's history: control. They fought interpretation of the Bible into the languages of the people, because they knew the people would start asking questions. And then this turns into "it doesn't say what you think it says", and "I'll tell you what it says and you have to believe me".
