Obviously a hoax. No deity would endorse the New International Version.

Huh ... really?? I thought he died ages ago and his book would have been out of copyright.
So, has he written anything interesting lately?? |

I think God has a sense of humour and got a kick out of that web page... I wonder if he's still on dial up though....

Well... as Gideon I can only say:
Patricia is right. No deity would support such a translation. I shall move to have the suit dismissed as the plaintiff has no standing. |

I heard that J.K.Rowling is going to sue God for the Bible on the basis that she is emotionally devastated to discover that he used his omniscience to write the Bible by plagiarising her unpublished novel, Harry Potter and GIVE ME YOUR MONEY, YOU THIEVING PIRATE BASTICHES!.

But seriously, there are more versions of the Bible out there than is decent, even with different books in them. My favourite is King James edition - search it for "pisseth against the wall" and prepare to be surprised Addition: A baptist preacher on this phrase: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDxcyqeRc-4 Last edited by AprilHare; 11-17-2008 at 02:17 AM.
