| So the "Christianoids" have retranslated the bible to agree with their
| prejudgements.  Are there any people who read Hebrew well enough to
| to dispute this?  This is the only version I have heard that translates

| discussed this passage have translated the Hebrew this way either.

This is a point I am interested in.  I am also  curious  how
they   translate   the  reference  about  Lot  offering  his
daughters so that the crowd would leave them all alone.  Can
someone enlighten me into this, Richard?
