Ah. You're arguing MY semantics. Yes, I consider the Bible to be the same book of fairy tales, no matter which translation, version, whether it contains the Apocrypha or not.
Some of 'em just have a few more fairy tales than others. Bible fans can argue that only THEIR version is the real one - which is all pretty silly, didn't we have some goofball here a year or so ago screaming that the KJV was the ONLY Bible? lol It's the Bible. Which version/edition/translation YOU think is the only one - - who cares? You seem to be making a huge distinction between book editions here, like that KJV-only loony. And/or you're claiming that different versions have led to different sects. Who cares? I mean, they're all claiming to have the only REAL link to an imaginary creature that nobody has ever been able to prove exists. And it's all based on VERSIONS of the same book.
