NOW, THAT I ASKED YOU A QUESTION, REGARDLESS IF IT IS APPLES AND ORANGES, PEAS, OR CUCUMBERS...WHY CAN'T YOU ANSWER IT? TIME AFTER TIME, YOU PUT YOURSELF IN A POSITION TO ASK SOMETHING AND YOU EXPECT OTHERS TO ANSWER YOUR WAY OR IT'S THE HIGHWAY...SO WHY CAN'T YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION?
WOULD YOU MODIFY THE BIBLE?
SAME SCRIPT...DIFFERENT CAST!
YOU SAY YOU HAVE AN ASSOCIATES, THEN WHY DID YOU FEEL THE NEED TO OBTAIN YOUR BACHELOR'S DEGREE? WAS YOUR AS/AA NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?
I STILL SAY...IF YOU WANT SOMETHING...YOU WILL MEET THE REQUIREMENTS!
EVERYONE MAKES CHOICES IN HIS OR HER LIFE...IF AN ASSOCIATES DEGREE IS ALL HE OR SHE WANTS...THEN THAT'S IT! THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT AN ASSOCIATES WILL NOT GET YOU...

All right, AKA2d, I will answer your question:
Would I modify the Bible? NO, I wouldn't. But I would not dare compare the Bible to any secular document, not even the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence. Hope that answers your 1st question. I still see no relevance in that question.
Why did I feel the need to get my Bachelor's? This is a true story. Back in '94 I announced to my church congregation that I would not be pursuing a 4-year degree. Well, after service, a little girl no more than 9 years old (and didn't know me from Adam) pulled me aside and told me that I should go get my 4-year degree because her grandfather dropped out of school and regretted it for the rest of his life. It broke my heart hearing this from a young child. It took me 5 1/2 years to fulfill her wish. While I never saw the girl again, if I ever see her, I will give her my degree as a thank-you gift for reaching out to me.
Again, AKA2D, you are not answering my question, you are using rhetoric and canned responses; I see very little original thought.
BTW, do you havta shout at me? In the words of Bill Murray in Scrooged when the Ghost of Christmas Present (Carol Kane) shouted at him:
"I may be invisible, but I am NOT DEAF!!"
