I'm a bit partial to the "Can I be a Christian environmentalist?" bit
myself. (For those blissfully unaware, the answer is apparently "no".)

There seems to be a burgeoning movement online to portray the King James
Version as the only true anglais translation of the christian bible -
there's many virulent attacks that I've seen targeted against any other
version - especially my favorite one (the New Revised Standard Version),
since it has the goddamn audacity to use gender neutral language where
the original hebrew, aramaic, and greek uses such nonspecific terms.

I'll trade you your diocese for our Southern Baptists. Please? They've
now taken to converting every other religious group via special outreach
programs. Particularly jewish folk. I kid you not.
