Re: how did the extreme religious right get that way?
Actually, as far as the Bible goes ... the TRANSLATIONS that have been done over the last 60+ years are far more accurate than either the Revised Standard or the King James. This has come about through a number of discoveries of ancient scrolls and a better understanding of the language(s) used in them.
The problem over the last 30 years or so is that so many efforts have been made to use "common language" (language which is common to both educated and uneducated people). In other words, they've dumbed it down.
Add onto those two competing efforts the inevitable arguements over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin that religious scholars love to engage in, and you've got a confusing mess.
