You don't know it for shit, and we're not interested in you telling us what your pastor thinks.

What's the best way to begin a reverse paradiddle beginning on the second tom of a 5 piece drum kit and filling 8 16th notes while going both directions with the last note on the "a" of 4 before coming back in on the 1 of the next bar?

The NT that we've come to know and love was written first in Greek. That's how they got Jesus name wrong. Other non-canonical books were written in bunch of different languages (Hebrew, Egyptian, etc.). All of it was translated through "Church Latin" to a variety of different types of English at different times (and other languages).

But there aren't any mistranslations! Perish the thought.

Nope, no mistranslations at all. Job had boils in English and he had mange in Spanish. Mange as in when a dog's hair falls out! But God protects his word from mistramslations. Have you ever read about Moses with Horns? A very interesting story. I may have it a bit wrong, because my Spanish at that time was not 100 per cent, still isn't, maybe 80 per cent. But in Central America's Guatemala they have statues of various saints including Moses. And Mo has a pair of horns growing out of his head. It seems that at one point in Latin the word for horns was one letter off from tablets, so some copier elbowed his friend at the next table and said "Watch this!" and wrote it as Moses came down from the mountain after visiting with God himself and Mo had two horns of stone. It took 200 years for that tradition to be removed locally form Church doctrine! Look it up on Google!

No joke: when my mother went to college, her college roommate was surprised to learn that my mother was a Jew. She asked in all seriousness (and I am not making this up) "How can you be Jewish? You don't have any horns."

Ironic that that statue probably gets mistaken for Satan a lot. Especially by tourists.

I've heard that bit before. Oddly, once from my next-door neighbor in college who introduced herself as Jewish by joking that she'd had the horns surgically removed. I fear that I met the punchline with bewilderment.

Yes, except it actually wasn't a joke.

Well the bigotry certainly wasn't but that was half of what I wasn't getting. The first half being that anybody could have missed the fact that it was Romans who tacked Jesus up.

Silly me for being born in a sane society. For a given value of sane.
