If there isn't another bible circulating out there that I don't know about, even though I've been a Christian for many years. The one I have in my house speaks of loving one's neighbor, helping the poor, not judging others; etc. It's almost as if the Christian (?) Right is reading another one they got hold of somewhere that speaks of contempt for the poor, bashing those who are different, and picking fights with those who actually do try to follow Christ's commands. I hope I never do see a copy of that one.
