I was poking at you >< unfortantly I didn't get to responde to ily with my ass-holeishness.

I was to busy wasting minutes of my life responding to Both again.

I Tried reading the koran once, when I was 12, and once again last year. It's the only book that has made me Ill.

Allthough, maybe I just had one saturated in a weapon of germ warfare.

Does swearing on either one really carry any weight? If someone needs/has to lie they are gonna lie no matter what. Basically it's just a tradion thing that people are crying about, kind of like makeing kids say the pledge at school. Some kids don't believe in God but have to say it anyways, same deal here I guess.

I personally tend to get a little ill when trying to read the bible, so I suppose we're even.

well nobody has to swear on anything, and nobody has to say the pledge either.

He wanted to, it's his right.

I haven't read it, but from what I know of Mormon belief, their theology is certainly.....interesting, to say the least.

I've always meant to sit down and read the Torah, Koran, and Book of Mormon. Can anyone recomend good/accurate translations of the first two?

I always enjoyed comparing Biblical translations. I love the King James' version, but the New Living Bible is an excellent translation also.
