I've seen people say several times that the King James version is the only "real" version of the bible and that all others have been corrupted by man. I was under the impression that ALL versions of the bible had been corrupted by man, seeing as they were all written by man... Anyway, why is King James considered the only real version of the bible? Got anything to back it up?

Isaiah 13:15 "Everyone who is captured will be thrust through; all who are caught will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their ... wives will be ravished."

Ezekiel 23:25 "God is going to slay the sons and daughters of those who were whores."

Hosea 13:16 "They shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up."

Deut 22:20 - 21 But if the thing is true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has wrought folly in Israel by playing the harlot in her father's house; so you shall purge the evil from the midst of you.

Couldn't the bible just be the liniage of Adam and Eve? Couldn't GOD have made other people outside of the Garden of Eden? Couldn't Adam and Eve just be the first people of a certain race of people? I am curious on peoples views on this.

I had a date all set up today, when I called him the time we set up the night before he wasn't ready. He didn't remember that we were going to go out for sandwiches together. He said that he would shower and shave and call me back. I waited 30 minutes and my brother asked me to go to lunch with him. I decided to go out to lunch with him instead cause I was tired of waiting. 10 minutes later he called said he was headed out to meet up. I told him that I was going to have lunch with my brother. He asked me did you have other plans and hung up. I tried calling back several times. I eventually got a hold of him at the restaurant and he said it was okay. I feel real bad and the night before he said he wanted to get to know me better. Should I try arranging another date or blow the guy off for hanging up on me and forgetting date plans?

The only things the Chinese have invented are wool, gun powder, and the rocket. And why are all the great geniuses European or American? Thats all you learn about in school are successful Europeans or European-Americans. Why were the Europeans way ahead of the Africans and American Indians?

I have been reading about Islam, and I have to say it really intreagues me..there are a lot of things I could accept, but some things I believe I would not be able to give up. See.. I believe in one Divinity.. but I see Divinity in a both female and a male aspect... but they are still one. I usually like to think of GOd as a feminie Divinity.. because it makes more sense to me. Would this be acceptable in Islam? I am accknowledgeing Allah... but just a little differently. Does it really matter how we see God, as long as we just worship HIM/HER

My mom is Christian and my dad is Muslim. My dad wants me to be in his religion and vise versa for my mom. I don't want to be a Muslim and pray on a rug because one I think it's weird and two I have no idea how to speak Arabic. I want to be a Christian, but I was never baptised and I don't know what they're talking about when I go to church. Sometimes I question if God is really real. No offense to people, but haven't you ever wondered how God was born? Who made him or whatever? Have you ever wondered why people only live till they're in their 80's or 90's? I'm sorry if I'm offending people, but I just wanna know if you beileve in him? I believe, but I have a very big imagination and sometimes question if there really is a God.

My daughter's latest seems to be one of the Blues Brothers. She brought him to dinner, he wore dark glasses all the time he was visiting, tripped over our dining room rug and put his fist into the jelly trifle (My favourite- We ate round the hole) smoked Marlborough ciggies throughout and kept his hat on, the whole time. I mean, I can get down, daddio, but is this behaviour cool or rude?

Seriously, why should there be such thing as "chivalry" and why are men always forced to pay. Also, why should someone being the first woman to do something matter if it has already been done before. Finally, why does it matter if a woman sets a record in something that beats a man if it is a non-physical event, such as Nascar?

“In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.”
