"I am not sure that the Darwin fish means you are a Christian and believe in evolution, that would be hypocritical…?"
I wondered how much further this kind of misinformed hyper seriousness could go... so I went looking...
And it turns out that it goes a lot further than mistaking the bible for a scientific proof...
Um... :|
I love the way he calls the King James version 'the right version'...
ReplyDeleteOh dear. It could make you cry!
ReplyDeleteSuch passion and faith so painfully misplaced :(
Oh no! I will have to rid my life of NIV Bibles! I wonder what else I should count to make sure it does add up to clearly evil numbers!
ReplyDeleteYou'd think this was just the states, but KJV onlyists are also rife in the UK... I went on a mission with some once. Mind you, they also made me wear beige trousers so I didn't take them too seriously.
ReplyDeleteHowever, what I particularly like is the fact that those who contest KJV onlyism are just as pompous in their accusations...
For example, from http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/kjvonly.htm
"12. One of the translators of the 1611 KJV was a known drunkard who was never removed from the translating committee"
... and did you know that the person who compiled the original source document for the KJV translation *whispers...* was a Catholic!!
@ Nick... I'm going to count the number of fingers on my left hand (4) and then multiply it by the number of times I catch the train each week (10) and then, by the number of keys on my key ring (7), by the number of shoes I wear (2) and then add 106 just for no reason at all and... oh no...
The first time I read this post the embedded Youtube movie didn't appear. I thought long and hard about what Mome was getting at and concluded it was beyond my limited intellect.
ReplyDeleteNow I see there's a movie, which means the previous sentences now make sense. This is great. I don't have to admit I'm stupid now.
Put it this way, if I was going to bother making a video about why the NIV is rubbish I would at least get myself in shot.
And is it only me who think he looks like Italy captain Fabio Cannovaro but with hair?
What happens if I call the emergency services with my phone upside down?
@Pop... you will surely hear wailing siren (and gnashing of teeth), followed quickly by the arrival of a 'horny' paramedic...
