Well, aren't you willing to believe that something occassionally gets lost in these translations? Whatever value you can get from the Bible (and there IS value), I still wasn't aware that people actually cared about versions of that book that are being re-edited and re-written constantly to fit our times and our language to be more easily accessible and understandable to people. The message might be the same all in all, but entire sections are deleted or inserted into these things. And, yes, the Bible has some interesting stories in it, and IS culturally significant and even occassionally teaches good life lessons and shit... So do a LOT of stories. That still isn't a reason to base a religion or your LIFE on it like a lot of people do. In all reality... The Satanic Bible probably teaches a person how to live a better and more fulfilling life.
Culturally significant, sure, and I've read the entire thing from beginning to end about 10 years ago, so I'm pretty familiar with it. But in all reality, it hasn't changed who I am a single bit.
