Would you rather have someone translate the Hebrew, Babylonian, Aramaic and Greek for you that was a Muslim, Hindu, Bhuddist, Wiccan, Animist, Astrologer, Agnostic, or Atheist?

This is a laundry list that does nothing whatsoever to address my point, but if this satisfies your need for refutation, that's what counts, I suppose.

Just what mechanism would you have in place to keep THEIR bias' from creeping in?

It's less a question of bias then flat out error. I don't have or need a mechanism, what I said was I have no faith in their interpretations. That doesn't mean I don't think they've got it all wrong, I just don't believe that they have all of it right. My faith in man's competency in this regard is no where near solid. If it's solid enough for you, that's all that should matter.

I don't understand: what was I refuting?

My point was that EVERYONE has a point of veiw and that anything you get from them will probably be slanted in that direction.

We are probably both conservative in our political thinking: we don't need no steenking leebral to tell us what the Constitution means!

But what if it was written in Swahili???? THEN our choice of 'interpreter' is crucial!

Think Supreme Court...........
