Re: [lojban] if lojban is logical, why are we doing the Bible?

[And Rosta <arosta@uclan.ac.uk>]

I suppose the main reason for doing the Bible is that it is the text most translated and the text that has been translated into the greatest number of languages, especially the NT.

Foolish though religion may seem, it is an empirical fact that many intelligent people are religious, and though on the face of it it would seem surprising that a committed interest in Lojban could go hand in hand with a belief in creationism, again the facts show that this is possible.

Laziness prevents me from adding to this message, for the sake of cultural neutrality, a bit of Koran translation ,

the Bible is a great source of irrationality today.  from gay bashers 
to creationists, i see it breed a lot of mob think and illogical 
beliefs.  lojban being a language for intelligent and logical people, 
i would hope most or all of the users are atheist.  the only reason i 
see to translate the Bible is the great wealth of other languages it 
has been translated into for comparison.  but i suppose it 
appropriate that Alice in Wonderland and the Bible are the first 
major projects--both are fairy tales.
