[CS-FSLUG] New Bible translation promotes fornication

[K Montgomery]

When I first saw this e-mail, I thought I might read this book for two
reasons:

1) convince myself this is something someone actually went and
published;
2) have a good laugh.

I've fulfilled (1) by discovering the ONE web site.  I've yet to arrive
at (2) -- too much head-shaking.  The brief sample I read was filled
with glaring inaccuracies and gross misinterpretations, written for a
third-grader.  What won't they think of next...
