pbs had a 1-hour program on how the bible came to be around 8:00 last night. i just got out of the shower so i missed a bit of it, but the part i didn't, i stuck around to watch; think william tyndale, martin luther, king james, etc. it was mainly concentrated upon william tyndale though, and gave only a cursory glance to king james, etc. it was interesting, but being the guy that i was, i took it with a grain of salt; i'm running low on internet time, so i'm gonna refrain from commenting in deep some of the stuff that bothered me. they seemed to concentrate upon how the main problem was that only the church could interpret the bible(ie it wasn't allowed for others to interpret), when the reality was more that the church misinterpreted the bible, could say anything that was in it or not or what was in christianity or not, and nobody could prove them wrong, due to an absence of bibles available in the native tongue. also, they referred to the church as the "catholic church," then only sparingly referred back to it as "the church." i thought that was wrong too, as it could lead to mistaken ideas about the church.

that's it for now; 16th notes on the hi-hat call for me.
