Hey Dwight, I don't think it was any of the functionality in the site, it was something about the actual HTML that made the page load slowly. The page would apparently finish downloading, and then it would take a bunch more seconds to actually display, and my browser thrashed my disk and everything.
Also, I just have to say: the type of comments you made about the Bible are the same cop outs I commonly hear from people who don't want to have to take the Bible seriously. So often I hear people complain about "mistranslations", or "organized religion" (whatever that is) in general (though "personal touches" is a new one). It's one thing to just not believe in the Bible... but don't make lame excuses 
Sure, people use the Bible in any way they want. I've seen websites for Christian homosexual groups. Hitler, though obviously not a Christian, claimed publicly that he acted in the name of God. The point is that they distort the Bible because of their underlying presuppositions; they don't come to the Bible in a neutral way. Rather than letting the Bible speak for itself, they speak for it.
"mistranslations" (or textual errors, etc... actually look into the evidence sometime), and the fact that people distort God's Word for their agendas, in no way detracts from God's word itself. If someone chooses to make those things issues, it's just a rationalization for not having to actually deal with what the Bible says.
