"Gimme that Old Time Religion!"
"Gimme that Old Time Religion..." From The King James Bible, Isaiah 3; 16: "Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: 17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the head of the daughters of Zion, AND THE LORD WILL DISCOVER THEIR SECRET PARTS." (my emphasis added to that especially naughty clause) Continuing now with some more apparent Biblical smut from Isaiah Three: "18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their round tires like the moon,..." (The inevitable question pops up: "Round tires like the moon?" Is that Bible-babble for, ahem... "Sexy behind?" Anyway, the references to "discovering their secret parts" and "round tires" were conveniently removed, edited, CENSORED right out of my copy of the "New International Version of the Holy Bible." That is, the good, juicy, salacious, FUN parts were EXPUNGED from the goddamn "White Bread Bible," as I like to label it. "Translator = Traitor," as a fine old Italian saying has it.
