Alright guys,
This is a good idea, now we need to work on developing the actual book itself. Jester has suggested that we try to make the Nations Bible a mixture of science and faith, which I think would be perfect.
With the scientists and peoples of faith working together, I believe that we will soon be able to create a very viable book...
Any other thoughts?
How many books are we looking to create? Are you wanting to use the Holy Bible as the base? Or are we creating an entirely new work?
IDEAS!!!!! Let's generate some ideas! LOL

Well, I was thinking a Bible of Equality. Something that is scientifically feasible, and makes perfect sense. I don't like faith within the Bible, but it may be used within. But I have almost gave up, because I meant it as a real Bible, not a satirical bible.

I AM NOT for anything satirical. That just spits in the face of what I believe if it ends up being satirical. I AM for a mix of science, reason, faith and everything in between. I'm all for that.

your already spitting in the face of what you believe.

I'm not quite sure what people are aiming for here. But I think it's probably WAY too big of an undertaking. The Bible runs to about 750,000 words. That's about 50% longer that The Lord of the Rings or War and Peace.
Last November I attempted Nanowrimo, the National Novel Writing Month. The aim was to right a 50,000 word novel in a month. I managed but 22,000 words - and that was spending a good few hours each night on it. (I went on hiatus from Nations RP because of it.)
