Its like writing a book and straying off topic. Wouldn't garner much interest, so authors usually write books that tend to say the same thing. IMO, that is how the Bible was put together.
Still don't think its the literal, un-biased, 100% true, without error....word of God though.
There is WAY too much room for human error from translation to translation.
Interestingly enough, the people selected to translate the original version(Latin?) into the KJV were secular. Supposedly King James wanted a complete un-biased translation.

i wish more christians felt that way, but instead,
63% of Americans believe the bible to be 100% fact. that scares the hell out of me, when you have over 3/5ths of the most powerful nation on earth who think that the earth is only 6000 years old and who believe Moses really did put 2 of every single living creature on the planet on his boat, it's cause for alarm. and you can bet out of that 63%, it includes many powerful people who have the jurisdiction to govern millions of lives. do you see now why Atheists get so passionate over this stuff?
