:D Lilith erasure. Love that. I'll have to remember that.
Ben Shapiro is such an idiot -- eminently mockable.
I use, for most of my Bible reference, a King James Version (KJV) from Project Gutenberg. There's actually a few of them there. I'm not sure which one I used. It is free and is available in multiple formats. I prefer the plain text version, which I split into first the Old and New Testaments in separate folders, then I used a simple script (just a few commands) to split each into the individual books, named from the title of each. I probably could have numbered them at the same time, but I later went through by hand, numbering each and adding to each the more common shorter name. That last bit (numbering and adding shortened names) was the only tedious part. Now, whenever I want to look something up, it is really easy. It is surprising how few religious people know anything about their Bibles and couldn't be bothered to even look up stuff.
I should do the same for the New International Version (NIV) becuase it is mostly a better translation (though sometimes it is actually a worse translation than the KJV). Project Gutenberg doesn't have the NIV, but I've managed to download it from somewhere in my travels on the net. Maybe one day when I go down that obsessive rabbithole again I'll break it up into easy-to-reference parts too.
