Counterfeit Bibles: Counterfeit Problem
Note: For some idiotic reason, webspawner has made it impossible to make clickable links on new web pages (for some reason they work on older web pages). You folks will have to cut and paste the following links. I apologize for this. The fault is webspawner's, not mine.

And prepare for some real gut busting fun.
The basic premise of all of these pages: that there are some versions of the bible that are 'counterfeit'; that is, altered by old scratch himself, Satan.
I can see some of the nutcases objecting to Reader's Digest condensed bible (a project they shelved when too many droolers howled). I can see how they would complain about various translations. But it doesn't end with that.
For instance,
http://www.biblebelievers.com/believers-org/counterfeit-kjv.html
attacks recent versions of the king james bible, because they aren't word for word the same as the one he used when he was when he was a boy. The author admits that the 1611 king james bible had typos and such in it, which were corrected. But apparently any further clarification of the language is a tool of old scratch himself. The devil's making them do it!
Here's another one. A publisher dares to publish other types of books, which means that said publisher is a tool of the devil (and gays), therefore said bible is counterfeit:

And it gets even funnier. Go to
http://www.av1611.org/nkjv.html
There is a triangular symbol on the cover of a king james bible. The bible's publishers say it is an ancient symbol for the trinity. The web page's author ties the symbol to... you guessed it, Satan himself.
It doesn't occur to the author that graphic designs are memes. For instance, the celtic knot was used in christian manuscripts. The design was admired by some pagan fluffbunnies, and adapted for their use. The celtic knot is neither christian or pagan: it's just a design.
You know, it occues to me that old Satan is kind of slipping these days. Centuries ago, he would tempt people to sin and exile them to eternities of pain and suffering. Now he's reduced to re editing books and sneaking in overused graphic designs.
Satan! Get a grip on yourself! Quit wasting your time and start doing what you're famous for.
I thought about all of this, and I must say I am delighted. Having the droolers fight with each other over essentially nothing is a much better way for them to spend their time than having them doing things that might actually get their nut right agendas fulfilled. I'd much rather see them fighting among themselves.
Carry on, idiots!
