What’s your opinion of the Queen James Bible?

“Making the ‘King James’ more LGBT-friendly is just one step in a long journey to improve the Bible. It needs a complete rewrite, to include at least 80 gospels of Jesus that haven’t been included. But I’m supportive of anything that treats LGBTs fairly.”

“It sounds good to me. There shouldn’t be distinctions based on gender, when it comes to who you can love. I already make the Bible gay-friendly in my head when I read it. It’s great to have a Bible that treats everyone with respect.”

“I don’t have anything against that Bible. Different groups have translated that Bible in different ways over the years. I don’t consider myself a biblical scholar by any means but I’ve studied it enough to know there are different interpretations. It’s wrong to single out quotes in the Bible and use them against a particular group of people.”

“The Bible is hardly sacrosanct. It was never meant to be a literal historical document. The stories are simply that, just stories. And some are outlandish, like a bush that talks. So naturally I have no problem with a new Bible that views the LGBT community in a more favorable light.”
