How many of you kids who want to be fathers plan on adopting instead of procreating?

I noticed that many of you label yourselves as being "agnostic" when it comes to religion. I found this video by Penn Jillette to be very entertaining (though some of you may find it informative). Enjoy (or don't): http://revision3.com/pennpoint/agnosticssuck

*raises eyebrow*
I've never heard of that before, I might look into what that means, and if it looks good do it.
As of Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, all Intel Macs (Macs from 2006 and on) can dual boot Windows with a built-in tool called Boot Camp. http://www.apple.com/macosx/compatibility/

It will nonetheless be highly influential in the United States as a study Bible officially approved by the U.S. bishops, who said it would replace the current version as the official text on the conference's website later this year. To promote acceptance of the new translation, Zondervan said it would phase out the 1984 update of its popular 1978 version of the book, which many churches have continued to use during the translation controversies. That means no more copies will be printed to continue stocking the pews for denominations like the Southern Baptist Convention, which rejected the 2005 modernization and stuck with the 1984 version.
Just for those too lazy to find it themselves/
Jesus ****ing Christ! There are multiple translations of the Bible that are commonly accepted in the US and throughout the world right now. If churches don't like to preach a gospel that isn't racist/sexist/homophobic, they can always use a translation that isn't the 2011 version of the New International Version.

What really gets to me is their plans to discontinue to 1984 model of the bible, so that, in the future, churches that are currently boycotting this book will be forced to buy it if they want bibles.
So in 20 years time, 9/10 places will only have this Bible
Complete and utter bullsh**.

The versions are different translations of the Hebrew versions. Sure details have been lost, but the Bible has never been made to be politically correct and anti-discriminatory. That's what they're trying to do here - they're removing some important details, adding in equality where there was none (remember, equality is actually a fairly recent phenomenon) and all sorts of things which drain further meaning from the words.
Here's a comparison: Have they started defacing Shakespeare yet? If so, then fair enough, they're ruining good literature. If not, why are they PC'ing the Bible and not Shakespeare? In a Humanist society that is today, surely the Bible holds about as much meaning as, say, Hamlet?
The Bible is a book of Bronze Age myths. What makes you so sure that the racist/sexist translations are accurate? Besides, it's religion. If you don't wish to believe this translation, don't adhere to that version of Christianity. Stick to the racist/sexist/homophobic version.

I don't believe the same things as my parents, and frankly couldn't give a toss if the Bible is historically accurate or not. However, it shouldn't be rewritten to be politically correct and that's the end of that.
But it's already been rewritten many times! What makes this rewriting any worse than the King James, American Standard, New Living, New Life, King James II, or any of the other countless translations? Besides, the OT portion is just a bastardization of the Tanakh anyway.

The census was ordered by Augustus Caesar, not Julius
It wasn't ordered at all. There was a census 4-6 years after the supposed year of Jesus's birth, but there was no such mandate that people return to their town of origin. You're clinging to Bronze Age myths because that's what you were raised to believe. Had the adults in your life been Muslim, you'd be explaining to me how the Qur'an is the way.

Yep :D
That and, if you get past all the god stuff, most of it is actually historically accurate. There's enough evidence to support quite a good portion of it - there was a man called Jesus, he did annoy the Pharisees to  , and he did get killed on order of Pilate of the Roman Empire. History supports this, and other parts of the Bible too.
There was a man named Jesus. The census ordered by Julius Caesar that required everyone to return to their homeland didn't ever occur. Quirinius wasn't the governor of Syria at any point during King Herod's life. Those are but a few historical inaccuracies surrounding just the birth of Jesus. My favorite historical inaccuracy of the Bible is located in the Old Testament. There is no record of there having been any Jewish slaves in Egypt.

I love smoking from my hookah.  (Not actually my hookah, but similar in size.)The tobacco is delicious, the smoke is fun, and it makes for some good bonding time with friends. Most of you kids who "hate" smoking are just kids. You know nothing of the crunch. You've never even been to the crunch.

That's your personal opinion, but the fact of it is, they're basically defacing a history book by doing this. It's like taking a book about the Middle Ages and making it so it isn't sexist
If you think the Bible accurately depicts history, you are ****ing retarded.
