    where it says give and it will be given unto you..............

    I would make love apply rather than money

    If we could get as much love in return as we dish out, would the world not learn to love?

    Actually, it's already been done. A lot of words in the Bible have come to mean things other than what was originally intended. If I had to pick one (to correct) it would be:

    Sin = stinkin' thinkin'

    I would change nothing but my deepen understanding of it because it is the truth and my perception sometimes puts questions in my head. Hey that is good because I then seek more in depth answers from other believers and hence there is the fellowship of GOD!! And why GOD and JESUS is not a religion but a fellowship!!

    NOT A Religion.com

    I would change Jesus' name into some 10 syllable complicated eastern name.....that way everyone wouldve gotten tired of saying it and the religion wouldnt have lasted this long.

    Something like "Saduhbahnitsadahn" Emphasis on the 'dahn' part ppl.

    I'd fix that mistranslation that led Catholics to believe their priests should all be "celibate". The word, correctly translated, is "celebrate"!

    That the reader is aware that it is a work of fiction, and if they choose to ignore that fact, that they accept that the god they choose to worship is a tyrant and evil.

    I would change it from "celibate" to "celebrate", and save untold legions of altar boys from years of abuse at the hands of their parish priests...

    people already change it. that's why there is so much confusion.
