Why the Bible is true

[Doubting Thomas]

I cringe anytime someone starts in with what was meant by the "original" language a text of the Bible was written in and whether the word used had one meaning or two.

This is what I call the "lost in translation" defense of the bible. It always boils down to "The word _______ in that passage had two meanings when it was translated, X and Y. While it looks like it means X, it really means Y."

It's just a weasel tactic to get out of admitting that certain passages in the bible are just plain wrong, embarrassing, or horrific.

That's really funny you say that. On Wednesday, my local news did a story on that and followed them around clocking their speed and confronting them on camera. One sheriff went 25 over the limit cause he was late for work. What did he do for a living you ask? He was a police driving instructor. That's what a lot of Christians look like in my eyes

A while back the local newspaper borrowed a radar gun and sat down near a school zone and clocked the speeds of different vehicles going over the 20 MPH school speed limit, then posted them online on their website. One of the pictures was one of the officers I worked with, in their cruiser.
