I read the Revised Standard Version in university (on a bet).  I still reference it, usually within the context of a discussion on TA.  But, in the interest of providing some much-needed perspective (and distraction - you are going to need it)  may I recommend www.lolcatbible.com

Did you know that "the Lord" is responsible for mass murders, abortions, rapes, stealing, adultery, and child abuse? Check out this website: www.thegoodnewsbook.com

Christianity should be summed up in Jesus's 2 commandments, "Love yourself and love your neighbor as yourself."

My hero, Jerry Springer, does it in one: "Be good to yourselves and each other --"

Or to formulate it another way:  "Be excellent to each other" and "Party on, dudes!"

Shay,

Did you know that MAN is the one that is really responsible for all crime,hate and war? We can't control the world,but we can do this with ourselves.

I have read the Bibile- probably KJV- but I prefer my fantasy be well written and a coherent plot- the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings or better yet the Wheel of Time or the Sword of Truth Series'. As long as your reading fantasy with monsters, demons, dragons and other myth- read the "good books"

I just ordered a copy of The Oxford Study Bible: Revised English Bible with Apocrypha from Amazon, and will read that first. I cannot wait to start the KJV though, since it has unicorns and all! It's no wonder fundies prefer that version!

Angela,

At least you are veing balanced whether you believe or not.I study many themes and subjects which I don't always concur with but I do need to learn what another side is saying and the arguments they present.

I have learned Hebew - Old Testament- and Greek-New Testament- from which the Bible has been translated.The translation best only in my view is the King James ll. James l is in Elizabethan English and readers of modern English can find it more difficult to read as they do their modern English magazines,etc.

James ll translates each Hebrew or Greek word very closely and is very easy to read.You can get an interlinear with the Hebrew or Greek words right below the English translation.James ll has an interlinear which does this and you can see how accurate it is.You can get it very cheaply at Abe's Books or a used book site.
