no its not true

no its not true, mr purvis. i find comfort and am convinced by my bible even though its an NIV, not the traditional king james version, even though it doesnt contain 'biblical rhyme and rhythm'- as you say. but that does not mean it does not soothe. it isnt all about the words, its about the Truth. and the truth doesn't need to be dressed up on a nice platter garnished with literary devices and smeared with a varnish, a sheen, of literary glamour- because that's phoney. and superficial. and disguises the truth. take it as what it is, and stop thinking like the world owes you fodder for your sucking absorbing literature needs. i respect you but there is limit to respecting capped-in understanding in a hard, shrivelled bitter core. ah.
but all this is but a reconstruction, like it is in margaret atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. a marvellous read, by the way. a reconstruction, for the words stuck in your throat, and articulated at the wrong time, often too late.
