My logic process turned that up. I also showed how I worked that out. "You hastily decided [those without reasonable access to the Bible] are unrighteous." This fact I pointed out leaves one of two options: 1. You know something that we don't or 2. You are actually ignorant of what these people believe or don't believe, which makes you a bigot towards them.

The statistics they're using are not just from their own organization. They're taking into account all the other translations by other organizations in the world. They may be a bunch of Bible thumpers, but they weren't idiotic when gathering those stats.

Don't presume to think that I would deny any piece of literature to the world, even if it was the Bible. If I denied access to literature that I didn't believe in, then I suppose I would therefore need to include other books on my ban list, such as "The Once and Future King" (The Arthurian Legend), "The Epic of Gilgamesh" (quite an interesting flood account in that one) and "Mythology" (a collection of Greek myths and legends).
No, GC. I want people to read the Bible, just like I want them to read the Book of Mormon and Al-Quran. I want them to start in Genesis, and read it with the same eye of scrutiny that they would use when reading about Norse mythology and Ancient Egyptian religion. I think the Bible is a useful piece of literature, and it shouldn't be denied to anyone.

I did not ask you, but once more I did not come here to please you.
Then your blathering is useless, especially since you're not supposed to preach on these forums.
