I think the Bible is a never ending story. So many dozens of people have changed the wording in the past 2000 years, it's a wonder that it even makes any sense at all.
I will admit though, it's one of my favorite science fiction books.

Honest advice: try posting more objective links as 'info'. I can hardly even open a link regarding the 'orginality' of bible when I see it referring to some christian sites. In theory they may contain objective information, but I guess I am such a prejudiced fellow, and I somehow think that I know your position in this matter, so I find it hardly worthwhile to even take a look.
Otherwise you're a good chap and I appreciate your effort to back up your beliefs. Take care and blessings of one.
Sincerely,

Always good to see intelligent, critical-thinking skills at work...oh, wait...I'm in the "Conspiracies in Religions" forum.
You know who you are.

I guess that would be the same middle school which trains people to believe things such as "My favorite fairy tale for adults is "Origin of Species"."
Keep baitin'.
