Actually, I used the NIV version. If anything, that might be a more authoritative version since it's more modern. I decided to look at a Hebrew interlinear, and according to it, the original Hebrew actually reads closer to what the NIV translated it as. So once again, there's no torture mentioned in that verse. Yup.
And is there a reason you feel you need to make generalizatons like a 12 year old, Yrkoon? Who are you to say "Oh, well stick with KJV, since that's what the fanatic right wing uses." What an immature thing to say. And get over this attitude of yours, already. Nobody's going to take you seriously if you don't learn to reason like a rational, respectful person.
That CBS article is a bunch of BS, by the way. It's actually more of an editorial. Anyone who reads it can tell it's little more than a biased stab at the Christian right.
P.S.: sorry for the smilie, Muso.
