Of course, the truly faithful understand that different means of translation produce entirely different results. From the same papyrus you can get:
-If using a seerstone: the Book of Abraham
-If using knowledge of Egyptian writing: The Hor Book of Breathing
-If using a dowsing rod: "yes, yes, no, yes, no..."
-If using a Magic 8-ball: "Ask again later"
-If using a Ouija board: A recipe for ginger snaps (Egyptian style)
“The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.” -Mark Twain

Jesus: "The Kingdom of God is within you." The Buddha: "Be your own light."
