I'm happy to have been informed that
real scholars have actually done the work.
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."
