United Methodists face vote on LGBTQ issues. Will it rip the church apart?

5. Not surprising, really.

Now, a guy would think that "God-given" scripture would be clear and undisputed. Not so, apparently. More hints that the Bible is a collection of human-written stories that has nothing whatever to do with any deity at all.

And it gets even stranger when different denominations think one translation among all of the translations of the thing is the "True Word of God."

I have a niece who is a devout Christian of a particular denomination. When she got married, my then-wife and I decided to give her a big "Family Bible." Before we did that, though, I called the pastor of the church she attended to ask which translation that church used. Had I not, my gift might have been rejected as somehow inappropriate. Of course, she and her husband have changed churches several times since then over minor issues, so...

It would be grand comedy if so many people didn't take it so seriously.
