Yeah, fine. We'll think for you.
Meanwhile, I always found this fascinating. Your bullshit bible was designed by a king so that everyone would have to wipe his royal ass. When that was done the thing was sent to a "revising committee" which made sure it "sounded" good.

Quote:The translators were broken into subcommittees. Each translator independently translated the same section of the bible, which he then brought back to the subcommittee. All of the translations were compared, and one was selected to be sent to the general revising committee. The revising committee listened to the translation rather than read it; because much of their audience was illiterate, they wanted the bible to sound right more than look right. If the translation didn’t sound good, the general committee would debate and revise the passage until it did. Afterwards, they would send their approved passages to a few Bishops, who would then send the passage on to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who would send it to King James who had the final say in the approval of the new translation.
Your precious fucking bible is a political document. Nothing more. Fuck it. Kings are dogshit today.
