I remember we did the musical Guys and Dolls in High School. Took a lot of re-writing (butchering) to get it to an acceptable level so some of the kids from the Baptists churches could perform. I mean, c'mon. In the end they are all saved by GAWD. What the fuck more do they want.

At least pick something that might be remotely plausible.... if you can find it, that is.
What happened to all that helping "the least of these", and the meek and stuff. I thought that was the whole point.

(36,899 posts)The reason why the fundies can't let go of their King James version because most modern translations omit the Comma Johanneum, which was a reference to the trinity that didn't appear until centuries after the first gospels were written down, probably inserted by a monk who felt the bible needed direct evidence of the trinity to hold off challenges to the official church doctrine. Even the RCC admits it's bullshit.
So it turns out, Jesus really isn't lord.
