So what's this all about?

Having had strong views on matters for as long as I can remember, yet derived with an open mind on issues spanning sex, politics, religion, food, wine and other apparently equally 'controversial' subjects, I have been encouraged to put fingers to blog, and put some structure to it all.

My hope is simply to evoke discussion, nurture strong debate, and entertain all at the same time. I therefore invite you to join me on this journey..

Another 'Man-Made' Bible Version To Suit Yet Another Agenda - But Do Women Have A Point?

Ah, good.. Another Bible version with its own 'interpretations'. Having been passed down via fireside word-of-mouth stories around the Middle East for over 1000 years pre-Jesus, before being written down piecemeal by believers in Archaic Hebrew into Aramaic (the language Jesus allegedly spoke which ironically became Arabic), then into Ancient Greek, into Modern Greek into Latin into 'Ancient' English (Anglo-Saxon), and much later 'Modern' English, of which there are dozens of selective translations down the years, none of which relate to the original texts and meanings.  So perhaps it's time for yet another version?



Whilst they're at it, perhaps they aught to 're-interpret' all the narcissistic, arrogant, self-serving, attention seeking, racist, "sing and go down on your knees to Me" Godly Commands. Not to mention incitement to murder, rape and plunder (including instructing numerous wars against all but a 'chosen few').  Directives for fathers to sacrifice their own sons on alters of fire, bizarrely and macabrely having His own son nailed to a cross for the sake of all 'our' sins (ironically his own creations in his own image..)..  This is the stuff of a blood thirsty horror movie!

OK, having said that, perhaps The Bible should be banned altogether for inappropriateness or at least rewritten entirely by real peace loving, truly compassionate, non-sexually inhibited, non-self serving, non-xenophobic, non-racist, non-sexist, non-agenda enslaved poets and writers..?  I think the time is nigh..
