King James.... He had a good goal, admirable even, but an incredibly defficient solution. I mean, it's almost impossible for a group of say 30-40 perople to agree, much less a whole country! Ok, maybe agree isn't the right word, maybe you could use be at peace with one belief. It's hard to get through to people that srtongly believe in something and you are proposing something that is contradictory or changes it slightly. For this reason (as we all know) he decided to translate the bible to get the "true meaning" and end with the constant disagreement that was tearing the country in half creating many troubles.
Because translation is such a challenging task because you have to change it on an abstact level and then on a literal ideas get mixed inbetween. In this process, like any other , things are going through your mind and what you think interfers in some way what you're saying. therefore chnges the outcome.
Going back on track, if two don't believe the same thing they need to learn to let be. Of course James' original plan didn't work. Having everyone think the same thing about their god/religion. Overall his idea was valid, but was a recipe for disaster. In general people are closed-minded so won't give in.
