The pages of a bible make great rolling papers.

Freethought, the bible used in academic discourse (at least when I took comparative religious studies courses in college) was the New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha.

If you are doing personal research, then go with a variety of sources found on the internet. Wikipedia is probably full of them. If you are doing academic research, then buckle down and spend the money.

By the way, I can't remember how many times I have purchased books about different religions, different cultural viewpoints, and/or metaphysical philosophies without feeling like I have betrayed some inner truth by purchasing a text that promotes ideas different from my own.

If educated people should never agree to purchase books or textbooks containing mention of and/or ethnographic research about religious and/or cultural topics (like for liberal studies classes in our freshman and sophomore years) because to do so might actually further corporate agendas of major religions instead of feeding the poor in Africa, yikes! This kind of thinking really brings out of issue of how damn greedy religious people around the world seem to be when it comes to helping the poor. The horror of it all!

Thanks teachurrrr. That is actually the copy/version I have in storage back home, and I am simply trying to avoid paying for another copy.

As for all of you people who keep bring up love motels, I'm really not sure what to make of it. Do you think I can walk in, talk to the man/woman at the front desk and say "hey, I don't want a room, i just want to go steal a bible. Is that ok?"

That or maybe the number of orgies I attend needs to go up, because I have NEVER stayed at a sex motel in Korea. What is it that all y'all are doing that makes you frequent sex motels so often?

Giving your money to haircut whores or Greenpeace is a type of charity if you say it and believe it to be true.

I've stayed in approximately 50-75 love motels (girlfriends who need aircon which I don't have + weekend trips away + too lazy to go home +.. don't ask) and I really can't recall seeing any bibles in them. Was I staying in the wrong ones? Or was I too drunk to notice? I'm usually pretty good about stealing stuff and can't believe I haven't ended up with a love-motel bible if they actually exist. I have sauna towels, love-motel bathrobes, love-motel face removers, love motel soap, love-motel condoms, love motel lubricant, love-motel remocon, love-motel wall, Thailand-guesthouse-buddhist-tracts... but no Christian bible. Have the love motels I've visited not been classy enough? Or perhaps I was drunk and they were in Korean and so I didn't steal them..?

But I really can't believe that English language bibles are common in love motels. If they were, I'd have had to buy an extra book shelf. I'd probably have a collection of all the different versions in fact.

Am I mental, or are you all staying in the 5*hotels, which do indeed have bibles?

Doesn't the Jehovah's Witness Bible use a translation that is considered extremely inaccurate, even by non-religious people?[/quote]

I never took one, but I'd doubt any bible translation, especially where they have access to internet, would be extremely inaccurate...and he just said a bible, not a specific denomination.
