VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|David Harper|DATE|1360327003|CONTENT|@Steve:  Your wife might be interested in a couple of books by Bart Ehrman:  &quot;Misquoting Jesus&quot; and &quot;Lost Christianities&quot;.

The first book explains how the New Testament is rife with copying errors and deliberate changes added by scribes with an agenda to push.

The second looks at the plethora of different &quot;versions&quot; of Christianity which proliferated in the early history of the religion, and the power struggles which eventually led to one of them becoming the dominant version, which ruthlessly suppressed all of the others.

It&#039;s a fascinating subject, even (especially!) to an atheist.|IP-ADDRESS|172.20.128.250|MODERATIONFLAG|
