First, King James did not write the Bible; he commissioned a group of scholars to translate it from the original languages into English.
Secondly opium and acid are not even closely related.
Get your facts straight when you make a statement.

Dear Eric, its for your kind attention that King James himself wasn't the writer of the bible first of all but he authorised his people to translate it in to English.
Since He authorised the translation that perticular translation bears his hame and he has nothing to do with the Bible and also I wonder that he ever read the bible once in his life time
there were almost 40 authores wrote the bible in a different times and different situation claiming a same one truth and "None of the Authores of the Bible ever claimed them selves that they are the only authorised messengers or prophets sent from God to write bible even some of the authores didn't even mentioned their name.
there are many truths about the Bible which I cannot tell you nowbut to your notice Bible is the only Unique book and uncomparable book that reveals about the God who created Heaven and earth..

You DO realize that King James didn't actually write the bible, but merely paid for its issue, don't you? never mind, obviously not. The Archbishop of Canterbury would have overseen the actual printing , and delivered the finished product to the king for his approval.

pretty much everything king James did to the bible was an abomination and directly against Christ's teachings

King James had other people translate it, first off. It's also a very literal translation. If you compare to other manuscripts you will see this.

and the inspiration for the king james was due to him needing to get divorced and pope would not grant it

no. he wanted to change certain parts that were tying his hands on things he wanted done. so he finally found a preist that was willing to reword those parts and give him the freedom do do as he pleased.
