Must be for Mormons. They only read the King James Version because otherwise the Book of Mormon would sound super weird seeing as how it’s the worlds most popular Bible fanfic. Source: technically a Mormon.
- dbrueck 4y agoNot really. It's true that KJV is the default for English speakers, but less than half of the church's members are native English speakers. Even among those that speak English, many study the NIV and ESV, for example. It's not even that uncommon to hear non-KJV quotes in GenCon for that matter.
- wincy 4y agoHey today I learned, thanks! I catch maybe five minutes of General Conference, my wife’s more likely to watch it than I am. I was also very confused about what a tabletop gaming convention founded by Gary Gygax (of Dungeons and Dragons fame) had to do with Mormons at first hahah.
- eru 4y agoWell, I guess the Bible is also its own 'fanfic', as not every part was written at the same time and some later parts clearly reference earlier parts.
