This is nuts. I am a staunch KJV guy but burning other translations is ridiculous. I believe in using the original translation because I can handle the old English.

The KJV is neither the first Bible translation (that'd be the Septuagint or perhaps some of the Aramaic Targumim), the first English translation, nor the first Protestant English translation.

Ever hear of the "Breeches Bible?" It is older than the KJV and was used by the Puritans, I believe.
