What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?

Could you elaborate? I don't have the vaguest idea what you mean.

The KJV as well as others are  under copyright, in order to copyright a new version of the bible it must be a unique translation...

I have studied copyright but never looked into the copyrights of various Bibles - never thought of it.  But I did have to confirm this one - how can a book created by committee over 7 years, written in Elizabethan English, published in 1611 is still under copyright?  But yes, the UK holds the copyright. That's pretty smart. Usually this would be impossible but I found a number of claims that it is under some sort of Royal Copyright.      http://www.kjvonly.org/doug/kutilek_king_james_copy.htm    Can anyone confirm/deny?  I'm curious.

But there have been LOTS of new translations since the KJV.  Wikipedia has an enormous list of partial and complete Bibles.  A new translation from the Aramaic seemed like it might be fun to flip through, but that led to all sorts of sites debunking the Aramaic Primacy theory - the Aramaic texts do not pre-date the Greek ones.  So thanks for sending me on a research run, that was fun.
