The one that interested me was the point in time when the bible went mainstream with the help of the printing press. The clergymen were in a flather worrying about whether it should be disseminated to the people and the “experts” all agree that it was because the clerics of the period were fearful of losing their authority and control of the commoners - it was all self interest.
I can see that… but…I wonder. Look around at all of the howler monkeys justifying their lunacy with the bible. The queers, the cults, and endless grifters. You can make a powerful case that the bible should be a controlled document and that religion should be a supervised and controlled affair.
Everyone has a Bible but very few actually seem to read it and fewer still seem to comprehend it.
God has no religion and all of them are corrupted.

Reading the Bible has never been forbidden. At one time when they were hand copied the church Bible was locked up so it would not be stolen and only Clergy read them. The corrupted KJV should not be read by anyone. MLK changed wording and dropped books that proved that he was wrong in spite of the dire warning at the end of revelations of what would become of anyone corrupting the Bible.
