How Something Sacred Like The Bible Turns Into An Ideological Mouthpiece

By
  1. Take one sacred religious document.
  2. Edit it to reflect whoever's in charge.
  3. Edit it again to reflect the civil mindset of your era.
  4. Watch it get mass published, loosening your control.
  5. Organize various groups based off of certain parts that justify your preconceived notions .
  6. Have groups infiltrate areas of power, specifically those in charge of editing said SRD to regain some control.
  7. Announce some changes.
  8. Convert people with misinterpreted rendition, make more money, use new SRD to advance preconceived notions.

It's amazing how many different versions there are of the absolute Word Of God, isnt it. The muslims may be just as crazy, but at least they're all expected to read their SRD in the same language.

That's what irks me about Christianity: every leader of every denomination say their way is the way, and they cite a version of the Bible that reflects their stance. Few want to own up to the fact that the Original version was too strict for some and not strict enough for others, and sects were formed to pick and choose.

And now, that has crept into our politics, and people who only have a fleeting understanding of Christianity looks at one denomination and believes that they speak for all Christians.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
