Yeah, I don't really trust writings translated and re-translated time and time again.
Another thing that really irks me about the Bible is that it has all these accounts.. all these things God's revealed and done for people. And it just stops all of a sudden, because a cave dweller had a vision about how the world is going to end? Give me a break. The text is obviously tampered with, and obviously tampered with to give priests reasons to "punish" people (and then receive payment for offering forgiveness, when that's really between you and God anyway).
I'm not about this whole DaVinci code crap, but I don't trust the Catholic church. Not at all. They actually freak me out a little. I can totally discount uneducated Baptist (and other denominations) hicks who just hate EVERYONE different - not just gays - but everything about Catholics (services, alternate books of the Bible, idolization of the pope, etc) is a horse of a different color to me. I'm not trying to offend anyone.. it's not really individual Catholics, just the group as a scary whole.
