True, one of my fav top ten interpolations in the bible:
The top 10 verses that were not originally in the New Testament
It seems that some of the most familiar verses of the New Testament
. . . . . . . .
there is no post-resurrection appearance or ascension of jesus.

I really appreciate the scholarship. I'm not inclined to give christers a pass on the poison and serpent thing even if it is a later (pick one) insertion, forgery, data base error, hacking attempt, or some more made up shit.
I really like the Inerrancy and Literalist shtick, if'n it's in the Bible, via whatever agency up to and including fraud with malice aforethought, them christers are stuck with it.
And if we do get a few stiffs from the serpent thing, we've hopefully culled some gullibility from the gene pool.
As for post #33, Brian, I luv ya man, but Fred Phelps ain't any more of a christian than any other scripture cherry picker is in any Methodist, 7th Day Adventist, COGIC, AoG, RCC, LDS, FLDS, RLDS, Baptist, CoC, Orthodox, Lutheran, (next 40,000 entries omitted) church in the world.
