Ahh I just finished reading "misquoting jesus" by bart ehrman and listening to about twelve hours of lectures on the origins of christianity.

There have been so many mistakes, falsifications, plagiarisms, misattributions, political jockeying involved in what we now have as the KJV that to think there is an iota of veracity requires a great suspension of logic.

What the council of Nicaea perpetrated alone is enough to make me seriously question what was included in the bible.

So by horseshit I mean in terms of its being anything more than a collection of often conflicting moral aphorsims, parables, and rhetoric designed to dis-empower the believer.
