Rewriting the bible

[robvalue]

Indeed. If a branch of the church is actually stating the creation account is just plain wrong, why keep it in their book? A catalogue of god's mistakes? How can they continue to revere a book which they admit contains glaring errors. If people are meant to use common sense to pick out what is and isn't true, it's hardly divinely inspired anymore. At the very least they need to highlight the bits that are either false or just stories.

I'd be all for different branches having their own bible. Then one could actually claim some sort of superiority over the others. "Look, we got rid of slavery endorsements! And the creation nonsense! We're more moral and scientific than you." And they'd be right.

Fact is, no one of any denomination follows even half of what the bible says. So why not keep on editing. I know that the fact it's been edited and mistranslated is something the church tries very hard to keep under wraps, but in the internet age people are gonna find out this stuff. Well, if they bother looking.

Hey, where did Michael go? I'd be very interested to hear what he had to say about this. I reckon he might even be for it.
