Subject: RE: Martin Carthy on a Desert Island
there is an assumption that the majority of people in the uk are christians, what about the atheists and agnostics.
   the bible is a hotch potch of contradictions and has clearly been put together by a number of different people, its interpretation has caused a lot of trouble and on occasion war, it is a book of propoganda, which has been used to control people, in my opinion the fact that the king james version may be written in a different style is a red herring, it is a book that has been interpreted.
much the same can be said for the literal interpretation of the koran.
   I have nothing against Christians who practise humanitarian/christian principles, what i object to are books of dogma whether they are maos little red book , the bible or anything else
