    Maybe you're thinking of the wrong brand?

    No, I'm mocking the Energizer Bunny campaign of ads a robotic bunny left the set of its own ad and started interrupting other ads for fictional products.

    Whether you recognize the Duracell Bunny or the Energizer Bunny as a simple of everlasting battery life depends on where you are from. In Europe and Australia, Duracell has trademarked the use, in the U.S., Energizer did (they were the jonny-come-lately).

    a particular English translation produced in the early 17th century is perfect since the translators were supposedly inspired by God.

    I was always under the impression that the 47 scholars that translated the KJV, while sincere in themselves, were threatened under the penalty of death, if they were to purposely introduce false doctrine or make changes to the message therein. The wording is also said to be quite poetic, thus it's popularity as a translation.

    The New King James Version clears up a lot of archaic language and does change certain translations.

    You can take a word from ancient Hebrew or Greek and it could easily equal out to a whole sentence or expression of an idea in English, this is where some inconsistencies and contradictions in translation can arise.

    The "King James Only" crowd are a bit nuts, to say the least.

    I was not arguing the deity of Christ, only that he indeed existed (as well as clarifying the question of Latin translations). I'm not sure where you picked that out of my post.

    Also, if you're going to refute someone's statement, at least provide some references and an actual argument other than "I don't have time to prove your obviously wrong evidence (because I said so; everyone knows this stuff, right?), but I will take everything you just said out of context and attempt to invalidate your argument via ad hominem".

    I suppose it's also common knowledge that A.C. has a Ph.D. in history and archeology of course.

    Who in their right mind would read a Latin bible? If you wanted to get down to the root language, The Old Testament was written in ancient Hebrew, and the new testament was written in Greek. Which went on to be translated into the various languages and versions you see today. KJV is just one of many English translations available today, having both Formal and Dynamic equivalence.

    The authenticity is also not at question of the various copies of the original scrolls, and by various I mean over 5600 original copies have been found, at 99.5% accuracy between them. There was also less than 100 years of time between the original and the earliest copy we have, however. For reference, Homer (The Iliad), only had 643 original copies, and at 95% accuracy! The time span between writing date and the earliest copy we have is 500 years. The works of Plato, a measly 7 copies found, at a non-measured accuracy. The time span between the copy and the original was over 1200 years. Many were willingly martyred within the first few hundred years, especially in the case of the eye witnesses at the time.

    The theory of Jesus never existing is not a view widely held by historians either. r1 - r2

    I find this project very cool, are there any apps available that allow one to enter a speed limit as they see signs, and couple this with your GPS coordinates? I saw an android app here:
