even hinting that it is somehow "inspired" is crossing perilously close to idol worship,

Because I can not read the original Greek and Hebrew I believe it is the inspired word of God translated from the original text.

John 1:1
1. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

I believe and many other who probably will not say it publicly that the KJV is diligently translated out of the Original Tongues.

My point was about the actual translation. Some have gone so far as to claim Divine Inspiration for the KJV translators. Please do some study on how the KJV came to be. None of the original texts (the original autographs) exist, all we have are copies of copies of copies. Since the KJV, other older manuscripts have been found, so the claim cannot be made that the KJV is translated from the oldests texts. There is no homogenous text which represents the original language equivalent of the KJV. The so-called Textus Receptus is a collection of manuscripts, not all of which agree with each other.
