My Duay and King James Bibles differ significantly. Not only are individual
verses different, there are entire books that occur in one and not the
other. When you say "I read the Bible too...", I must ask "Which one?".
There are many things that are not written "the same way" and are therefore
open to radically different interpretations. It's times like this that I
wish that I could thank God that I'm an atheist.
