Dude, they would so get in a fight over what the proper version of the Bible was: King James, New Anotated King Jame, Oxford, New American, etc. etc. etc.Originally posted by aneeshm
It is my opinion that an official copy of the three most common versions of the religious texts of all major world religions should be kept in school libraries , in their free and completely uncensored form .Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

That's why I said the three official ones , like the ones which can trace thir ancestry back to the original in the most convincing way .Comment

That all depends on who's doing the tracing. There are probably around 100 million people in the U.S. who swear that the King James Version is the real Bible and that it was inspired by God. Any serious scholar, however, will tell you it was badly translated. It is, however, one of the major works of English literature.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Yes but any serious scholar excludes many Christian arguments.... creationism, continental drift, scriptural literalism for starters..."I work in IT so I'd be buggered without a computer" - Words of wisdom from Provost Harrison

What gay characters? And don't say David and Jonathan. They were not gay.Originally posted by Comrade Tassadar
The bible has homosexual characters in it.
We should burn it.
Obviously, banning gay books is wrong. I believe in free speech. let everyone, pro-gay and anti-gay publish their views and let people read what they want and make up their own minds.'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

There was a historical-fiction novel I read a few years ago in which the time period was the Civil War. In the story, two of the many characters were Confederate soldiers and they **** and also fall in love with one another.
I wish I remember the title, damn it.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

And now I'm probably going to drive myself crazy the rest of the day, today, because I can't remember this damn title, nor the author.

Oh, yes, I'm too lazy to browse the thread: does "gay book" mean a book with explicite gay sex in it,
a book with gay motives even, or a book that was written by a gay guy?"I realise I hold the key to freedom,
