#1 "It must be terrible to be one of those sensitive people who're so easily offended by every little thing..."

On behalf of sensitive people everywhere...I'm offended that you said that. ;)

#2 Its one of the new principles of Bible Translation: It seems that Fraiser of "The Golden Bough" fame was too sloppy with his research on ethnic religions. It seems that each indigenous tribe believes in a supreme God, with whom they f*cked up and were turned over to evil spirits for punishment. This supreme God has a definite name in each ethnic group, and "Allah Tala" is the Iban version.

Bible Translators now use the Indigenous name for God when translating what we read as "Yahweh", "Jehovah", or the fully capitalized name "LORD" as used in the original King James Version. Its a way of personalizing and making the translation concrete to the tribe to which it is directed.
