re: #214 Anymouse

I don’t see a whole lot of difference between the RCC’s long-time stance that the Bible in vernacular was somehow improper, and wingnut churches here saying anything but the KJV (ancient modern English that literature students have trouble with) is improper.

When GW Bush came out in favor of posting the Ten Commandments in public buildings, some journalist (obviously one with a few semesters of comparative religion under his belt) asked Dubya “Which translation should we use?”.

To which Bush replied, “The standard one.”

He did not elaborate, but I somehow assume he meant the KJV.
