Oh, you haven't seen crazy until you read Gail Riplinger. She's one of the leaders of the "King James Only" movement. A fundamentalist movement that believes that the King James bible written in 1611 is an "inspired translation" is completely accurate and perfect. All translations since 1611 have been the work of demon possessed satanists trying to corrupt God's word (this is what they literally believe, I'm not making this up). The KJV only movement is quite large. I have a few of Riplinger's books. Here's some chapter titles from one of her books (it's over 1000 pages of pure crazy, seriously 1203 pages!!!) that are worth a laugh:
"Metzger's Lexical Aids and Greek Text Are Deadly: Nuggets from the Greek or Fools Gold?"
"Logos Bible Software's Liddell-Scott Greek-English Lexicon" Did Henry Liddel protect 'Jack the Ripper' suspect, Alice in Wonderland's Lewis Carroll (a.k.a. Charles Dodgson)?" [emphasis mine]
""Marvin Vincent, Marred and Sin-Bent" His Word Studies in the New Testament denies the existence of the Devil."
"Child Molester on New Version Committee"
"'The Occult & Catholic Origin of Greek & Hebrew Focus' exposes Reuchlin, the founder of Greek and Hebrew study, and his use of the wicked Kabbala. This could have been chapter one!"
"Seven Proofs of the King James Bible's Inspiration"
Here's a page that debunks her: http://www.kjvonly.org/james/may_reviews.htm

My ignore list
"The lord doesn't work in mysterious ways, but in ways that are indistinguishable from his nonexistence."
-- George Yorgo Veenhuyzen quoted by John W. Loftus in The End of Christianity (p. 103).
