- I can't believe that this silliness turns up in this place too. Unless
- one believes that the KJV is an inspired translation and any and all
- others are not, which is not a claim I've seen, the evidence is all on
- the side of the KJV being the most perverted English translation.
- But of course, this being alt.postmodern, perhaps I should say they are
- all equally inspired or uninspired mistranslations.
