The bible is literally a bumper book of fantasy.

Bad trip on LSD might be more fitting. Fantasy usually has some morals in it.

Oh, and happy birthday. Must be one of these last two days, isn't it.

if its one thing i learned about translation its not a easy job and people tend to swap out words that are nearly identical when they don't have a word that is close to that meaning. the bible is so badly mistranslated that there is so many sects of Christianity non of them following the direct text because well it wasn't translated properly to begin with.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.

Unicorns are a mistranslation of wild ox. Satyrs are a mistranslation of something we really don't have a word for: demon goat, goat demon, pagan demon god, possessed goat. Take your pick.

In any case, those still clinging to the King James Version are stuck with the unicorns and the satyrs.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

That makes no sense??? when was the word "wild ox" created and why wasn't the Bible AUTOMATICALLY changed too reflect that?

Translations can be VERY difficult.

How many people are there and who is wearing the hat?
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

And translations of ancient languages are harder.
