I am truly amazed that this severely reinterpreted book, in all the versions now availible, can be considered as truth. From any logical standpoint, when something is changed or rewritten, by a human hand, there will be mistakes. When we go into the extent to which these writtings have been manipulated by those that have taken upon themselves the interpretation, there can really be no doubt that what you read today, is not what was written 2,000 Yrs. ago.
Yet many still consider this to be "The Word" of God. I personally find this to be a sign of ignorance (no insult intended) or a failure to use logical thought. While I am well aware of the Have Faith mentality, that has not worked for me since catholic school. I have read several versions of the Bible, and there is much to be learned from these texts, but if they are the word of a God.....I will look elsewhere for my salvation.
