Actually while I think the case is silly so late after the bible content was altered 20 years ago, if he gets a good lawyer that specializes on hate crime he may have a chance.

I agree he would be able to muster a case if he could point to a hate crime committed against him directly tied to the Zondervan bible translation.

But he is claiming personal and emotional distress and this types of cases base on feelings alone do not do well.

I expect , if the case makes it to court, that there will a parade of shrinks and docs testifying for both sides of the issue....I have a feeling the plaintiff has a long history of psycho-therapy he can pull from to bolster his lawyer's arguments...a thorough lawyer never goes to court based only the feelings of his client.

That is another issue, see if you read the link in the OP, the so call offending bibles were published in the 80s after that none of the bibles published had the word anymore.

What you fail to realize is that the word homosexual was ADDED incorrectly to the bible. Homosexuality was not considered a sin in the Bible before the 20th Century because it wasn't there. The bible has been falsely amended from its original version and that is wrong.

In 1970, I Corinthians 6:9 read as followed-
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulteres, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effiminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind.

In 1982 ,the same scripture read like this-

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodimites.

In 2001 the same scripture reads like this-

Surely you know that the people who do wrong will not inherit God’s kingdom. Do not be fooled, those who sin sexually, worship idols, take part in adultery, those who are male prostitutes, or men who have sexual relations with other men, those who steal, are greedy, get drunk, lie about others, or rob thses people will not inherit God’s kingdom.
