Quote:Oh you mean the ones who listened to Constantine and arranged the bible to suit his political agenda or those who listened to James VI & I and rearranged it to suit his?
From its very beginnings the bible was a book tailored to political propoganda.
Yeah.... those motherfuckers.

Quote:James was in favor of both an abolute monarchy and divine right. Which means that he believed he was choosen by God to be the sole ruler of England.
James wrote a work called "The Trew Law of the Free Monarchies."In this James describes how he believes that Kings have to rule to create laws, not Parliament. And they distrubute land, not the Parliament or other people.
During James' rule he wrote these laws which showed he was for it. He also, was in a constant fight with Parliament over money. He did not want the Parliament to control what he wanted and he took control of the country alone. He was ruling to the rules he wanted, and controling the people. James even wrote a Bible so that the people could understand God's word and be able to have access to the Bible through his version, not the Church's.
James believed that God had chosen him to be the ruler of England and to rule for the greater good of the people. Which is also why he wrote his version of the Bible for them.
James was a nasty little shit. He was also, to our resident fundie morons' everlasting shame, a homosexual. Remember that next time you pick up your fucking bibles, boys!

Quote: King James was a raving homosexual. Sir Walter Raleigh joked about it, saying “King Elizabeth” had been succeeded by “Queen James.”
His favorite lover was the Duke of Buckingham. Anyone who doubts this needs to read “King James and Letters of Homoerotic Desire” by David Bergeron. James’ tomb lies beside that of Buckingham in Westminster Abbey.
