What's it gonna be? NIV is common and popular, but KJV and legacy Catholic versions are probably more historically relevant to the argument they're making. And who gets to approve the bible-based lessons upon which they insist? Actual theologians or just political schmucks grifting off the fanaticism of an overzealous constituency?

Hmm, I bet I know the answer to that last one.
