I was unable to find this bible. After reading the posts I can only assume it was a bullshit answer.[/quote]You've never Heard of the Holy Bible? It contains a total of 66 books.
[quote]How about I ask which bible do you refer to, which you consider the 100% correct version?[/quote] Again, this question can not answered, as no english version can be 100% accurate. Simply because not every word in the orginal script can be translated completely into english. So depending whom I am speaking and their level of understanding along with the topic. I will use any translation from the easy to read version, to the NKJV to the Blue Letter bible and concordance.
[quote] When was it first published? [/quote]which one?
[quote]Is there more than one publisher and if so may you please tell us which ones you know about. Is there a link to a online version?[/quote]http://www.biblegateway.com/ This is a great website. I think just about every single major translation in every language is repersented here. even some of the more obscure versions with different books.

this is the blue letter bible and concordance. It's principle translation in the KJV, but if you put in a passage and click on any one of the numbered words it gives you the Orginal greek or Hebrew words and their defination and a short explaination as to which meaning was used and sometimes why.

I'm not going to go into anything sassy or complex other than to say that Drich doesn't know dick about Hinduism, and his claims about it are nothing more than the callous lies told by enemies of those traditions.
Thanks for trying to tell me what I believe, Drich, as well as millions of people in similar and other Hindu traditions.
As usual, you're simply pulling shit out of your ass because it confirms your beliefs, regardless of whether it has any relation to the truth or not.
(And someone as knowledgeable about the bible as you claim to be knows damn well that there are multiple "bibles" in the Christian traditions alone, and I'll bet you could name several; that you chose instead to dodge the question and the burden of proof waiting in its wings by not naming one of them makes plain your hypocrisy in a thread in which you are attempting to claim that you and other apologists do not avoid questions. Even if I were a Christian myself, your behavior would still sicken me. You are a disgrace to both God and Christ. [And the evasion only gets thicker if we go into the actual meaning, use, and etymology of the word holy. You're the self-appointed biblical scholar, why don't you provide us with an exegesis of the term so that we may check your story - and your exegesis.])
If I ever do meet your god, I'm as sure as I'm standing here that he will have nothing but bad things to say about you. I can already predict that your name has been eternally absent from the book of life.

Your right it is easy to make a basless accusation and not back it up with anything. your personal example was awesome.

[quote]I asked you, though, not him.[/quote]
[quote]And in my experience atheists rarely debate using the word fuck [/quote]Then you have a really limited experience of atheism. I have been doing this a really long time and I don't know that I have ever been in an arguement (if pushed to it's limit with a devoute atheist) that didn't in profanity.

I do that for your benfit. Otherwise The Douche bags or bag-ettes on this web site will get me for being 'unchristian like.' I perfer not to throw gas on a fire.
[quote]By your logic anything a religious person disagrees with can be seen as blasphemous and thus any reasonable discussion is automatically precluded (as if reason and religion weren't mutually exclusive already).[/quote]
You start out by saying I did not provide my 'logic' as I differed to Minnie, and now you are saying by my logic, and then proceed to tell me what 'my logic' is. How is it you can tell me my logic when appearently I did not offer it? Or did I? Can you show me where I provided this logic that allowed you to build your last arguement?
