Problem is all the torahs and psalms seem to be the badly translated versions, lord in place of various godnames... was wondering where I could find an accurate translation of the psalms...? Thanks M

The Enuma Elish has the original flood myth. The Song of Solomon (if memory serves me correct) was a song between Inanna and Tummuz. Meta-search and cross reference for the original sources. In the end, the Bible is an amalgam of different legends, slapped with an icing topping, and then served as the birthday cake, labeled, "Happy Birthday, Jesus!" -------------------- ¡HA HA! ¡ESTOY USANDO EL INTERNET! -Never learn the Art of Sword before the Art of Dance. - Celtic Proverb -Even with spiritual power, an unchecked ego will only seek to deify itself. - Frank MacEowen -One cannot traverse waters without causing waves. - Xenomancer -I find it interesting that we as scholars of metaphysics have no problem discussing the intricacies of the threads of reality, but when it comes to the things that really matter, we forget them. - Xenomancer -This world is your home. We have a mix of everything here. If you want better, make better. There's no rule of going elsewhere for the tools. That's what magick is about. - Xenomancer

Was actually debating this with a christian the other day, the fact that the bible is a compilation of texts and stories from elsewhere, cut and edited to fit in with political views.... is it then "holy" by the actual definition of the word? Same with the koran... the only one that would stand to scruplous testing would be the hebrew origional to which you can apply their entire philosophy to, astrlogical, numerological, QBL'stic and so on. The bible isn't a holy text at all, nice read but it'll likely drive you mad like a badly written ritual would if you take it too seriously.
