That's true. Whenever Religion or Politics is involved conversation is likely to become 'heated' to put it mildly.
I got a copy of the version over at Mobipocket some time ago (the KJV). It wasn't free I don't think but it works ok as a stand alone book. It has the most versions of any written work out there I think. Certainly it has had one of the longest print runs in history, and has been both quoted and mis-quoted I'm sure since it was first written down (and maybe even before since it was kept in circulation orally for centuries before being put down in writing.
Funny thing about the Bible though. Technically all books are bibles though only one is the Bible. I mean the word bible comes either from the Greeks or Middle Latin(biblia)and means either 'book' or 'the books.' So while all the books in a library are biblia not all biblia are the Bible.
