A Few Words From The Big Book Of Love

A quick word/phrase count using my searchable KJV Bible on my Kindle:

In order of occurrence:

Brain (0)
Intelligent/Intelligence (0)
Logic (0)
Rational (0)
Conscious (0)
Ethic(s)/Ethical (0)
Thoughtful (0)
Hopeful (0)
Equality (0)
Democracy (0)
Vote (0)
Jury (0)
Rights (0)
Racism (0)
Slavery (0)
Freed (2)
Freedom (2)
Abuse(d) (3)
Trial (6)
Liberty (27)
Happy/happiness (28)
Edge of the sword (28)
Conscience (32)
Care/carest/careth (38)
Tremble (54)
Pleasant (58)
Smitten (63)
Kindness (78)
Captive(s) (100)
Hate/Hated/Hatest (100+)
Fear (100+)
Obey (118)
Captivity (122)
Smite (139)
Slay (151)
Slain (181)
Afraid (191)
Slew (194)
Smote (229)
Destroy(ed) (461)
Command (902)

Some of those latter words really whizzed up the count. Unfortunately, my Kindle only counts up to 100, otherwise we could be seeing some really impressive numbers on those latter words.

I'm saying nothing, of course...

[Later Note: I am indebted to Plasma Engineer for supplying some of these numbers.  See his comment below]

    Cheers.

    I should have asked my son. He's a Unix person. I never made much progress with it myself.

    I expect the versions are pretty much the same but one can never tell; there are so many different versions of the inerrantly perfect words aren't there.

  3. OK, I realize it is a bit late for commenting, but I can't resist. The beginning of this list brings to mind the quote from Bertrand Russell: "So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence; and in this respect ministers of religion follow gospel authority more closely than in some others."

    1. Never too late to comment - or to reply to one. :-)

Obscene or obnoxious messages, preaching and advertising spam will be removed.

If possible, please provide a citation for any substantive claims or at least give a cogent reason why you accept it as factual. A quote from a book held to be holy by a minority of the world's people is not a scientific argument. Remember: your opinion is not an established fact unless corroborated.

Regrettably, due to persistent abuse by a loon hiding behind religion, I have reverted to moderating all comments. I will revert to open commenting if and when the abuser matures enough to behave like a normal adult, something which sadly he shows little sign of doing.

Additionally, because this loon has now degenerated to impersonating others by using their Twitter ID and address on comments, all such comments will now be routinely deleted.
