Yes! ANOTHER translation!
So let's see... this book started out as an oral history. This oral history was passed down through an unknown number of generations with each successive story teller adding his own embellishments. Finally, it was written down. And then copied. It was copied an unknown number of times. It was then translated. And translated again. And again. And again. Until it was translated into a form of English we wouldn't understand. Finally, it was translated into English. It was then tweaked and converted into many different versions.
So who the hell knows what the original said? You couldn't have a grocery list go through that many retellings, copies, translations and conversions without having some big changes in the dinner menu!
But it's the "inerrant word of God"!
Yeah, right!

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
