27. I've often wondered why Bible literalists don't study Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. If I literally
believed that the Bible was the inerrant word of God, why would I settle for a translation? If I literally thought my very sole and salvation were at state, I'd think the least I'd do would be to educate myself so I could read the Bible for myself in the languages that are nearest to the original source languages.
Yet very few fundamentalists see the issue this way. I guess they are just not predisposed to critically evaluating the underpinnings of a way of life based on faith.
