What is the wrongest book you own?

[redunderthebed]

Aha, have located Gideon new testicle. These were given away to teens. A kind of King James.

I never understood why the gideons didn't give out bibles with both testaments in them to most christians they're kinda important.

They do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gideons

Ah cool i've only ever seen the ones with the new testament and psalms glad even then they include the psalms its my favourite book in the bible.

An embarrassingly large number of these. They're all equally wrong, except the ones that are wronger by virtue of translation.

I don't understand why people need more than one but i have being told the good news bible is particularly crap.I read the new international version i find it the easiest to read and understand.

The one on the far left is my Gideon's NT, which I was handed more or less the first day of high school; then the pale brown one I think came from my maternal grandfather; there are two of those Queen's Jubilee NTs, given out to the kids at school; the two Good News ones hark from Mrs TA's old church (why there are two I'm not sure); the NSRV I bought during my Dawkins phase, trying to find an intelligible version that might be accurate (little did I know that even the earliest manuscripts vary so much...); and the black one was given to Mrs TA by her late Uncle.

FBM, I'd love to have that book. Campfire starters are scarce.

Meh, I have a friend who cleans hotel rooms.

I have something which I cannot recall the title of, but it is something like "The Encyclopedia for the Modern Housewife."

It was published in the late forties and is outrageously unknowingly sexist, racist and just downright wrong. Though it's got some fucking knockout recipes and tips for cleaning and home maintenance.

If the cooking, cleaning, and maintenance tips were right, maybe the rest of the book is too

Yes. I take great pleasure in marking them up to highlight:

1. The cruel, capricious, tormenting, infanticidal, and genocidal nature of the biblical deity, and
2. The numerous contradictions within the bible.

It's hard for me to find any. I got rid of the ridiculous ones and put post it notes over the mistakes in all the rest.

Plus I tossed the Gideon's Bible I got and paid a dollar for at a charity sale.

Mein Kampf
The Satanic Bible
The Communist Manifesto
The Pivot of Civilization
Malleus Malefecarum
Five different Bibles
The Book of Mormon
Quotations from Chairman Mao
Das Kapital
Democracy and Education
Silent Spring.

That one seems to have become garbled...

I'd change "descriptive or advocating" to "describing or advocating", and fix whatever's happened to the last line, with the spurious double-quotes and half-sentence.

I have hours in hotel rooms. I am happy enough with inserting tabs such as:

God orders rape
God orders murder
God orders genocide

etc. etc.
