Or, maybe, 'Blueshirt Revised Version'??
Bingo!
However, one could wonder why SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE in
The Bible's story would have thier own version of The Bible!!
Doh! Well obviously my [imaginary] version is revised enough to
contain something that I can believe in! A book is only a
collection of written words after all, and the bible is only
considered "holy" because religious people tell us that it is.
How many people would have read the bible if it wasn't part of
our upbringing and education system? Is it a book we'd have all
chosen to take off the shelf in a library and read?
If a man on the street told us those same [highly unbelievable]
stories trying to pass them off as factual we'd laugh at him and
move on... but when somebody in a pulpit tells us those stories
we lap them up and think we've been let in to some sort of
secret enlightenment.
The BRV - if published - would be aimed at the less simple
minded among us.
