The Holy Bible by The Manic Street Preachers is one of the most evil, and therefore best, album of all time.

King James for me. Though there was one made in the early 1900's that used the correct names for God and Jesus (i.e., Yahweh and Yeshua), which would probably be preferable if it were still in print. There is still a sect 'round here that uses that version; I used to watch them on local access TV all the time. I have or maybe had some literature from them. If I can find it I'll post it here. They tell a pretty good tale. I'm basically not a Christian but I do have an occasional interest in Biblical (as in the actual book, not the stories) history.

Can you tell me where we're headin'?

It sold well in India surprisingly. Sadly, its all butt out of print.

I think Jesus Christ sooner or later is going to be bigger than John Lennon. But are you going to deny me access to England/Usa and burn copies of the bible because of my controversial view ?

I haven't read/heard either in full, but the book has a much nicer cover.

I have actually seen a bumper sticker that said "IF IT AIN'T KING JAMES, IT AIN'T THE BIBLE!"

First, it wouldn't burn properly. Second, if you have access to a sarah palin book, why would you destroy a weird yet entertaining book like the bible?

When I read "The Holy Bible (Manic Street Preachers)" I thought you meant those guys on the streets who preach.
I'm happy to continue to avoid both
