(5,301 posts)One of the ways down the hill we live on would take us past an old beat up pick-up truck in front of a slightly rundown garage (the house faced the other way). The truck had a bumper sticker that said "If it Ain't King James it Ain't The Bible!"
It hasn't been there the last couple of years. I'm assuming it's owner hasn't, either.

(1,899 posts)To say which version is correct or not?
In my opinion, all versions are incorrect as I believe the Bible to be fiction.
But whatever.
