The Hebrew tongue from my understanding is read backwards ie right to left. Now anything backwards is always a negative thing, and not a positive. For those who think Hebrew is the language of heaven lets search the scriptures and see what they say.

And from the Hebrew point of few western languages are written backwards. Considering who had the "authentic" 10 commandments, and who could read them, I think that it's pretty clear that the KJB's English is backwards and evil.
Left to right, right to left, neither is backward when applied to the appropriate language. Those are simply arbritrary choices.

By all means, you do that. Of course, if you're searching the ORIGINAL versions of those scriptures (in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and possibly some Latin), I'm pretty sure you won't come up with a single thing touting the virtues of English; it didn't exist yet back then.

How one reads depends upon the cultural context they were raised in. So if English speakers think that reading backwards is "evil," then it would be so but only for them.at all , in fact, in Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic and Latin, instead) so why are we worried how it looks when translated into our English language?

Wow, the whole original post is incredibly insane. This guy uses the reasoning that because God is the "beginning and the end", that the KJV is the beginning because it's the end. Even though the KJV is NOT the "end" in terms of being the last translation in any way at all.
They actually think Elizabethan English is spoken in heaven! WTF?James Bible, shouldn't they think that people speak Jamesian English in heaven? Elizabeth had nothing to do with the KJV. Dumbasses.
The KJV-only people seem to believe that the KJV was the last and best of God's word to mankind. It's like Islam, but with the KJV translators replacing Mohammed as the prophet. In effect, they believe that the KJV is always right, and if the original Hebrew and Greek disagree with it, they're wrong. It's a new and bizarre form of Christianity, and one I suspect is particular to a small sect of U.S. southern Baptists.
Let's just forget that the Bible was originally writeen in Hebrew, not English. And if he bible was written in a "negative" manner that must mean that the Bible is "negative."
Well, by that logic, English, as well all other languages read left to right, isn't the language of Heaven either. Oops on you.
Now anything backwards is always a negative thing, and not a positive.
Donkey attempting to regress into the dark ages, is not good.

@TM: Elizabethian English is what we call English from that time. You're right in that the Elizabethian Age was over by King James (of course), but I doubt the language had changed so much over that time. But maybe it is still better to say Jacobean English (as in; the Jacobean Age; the Age of King James/Jacob)

You don't have any.

Typical fundie-think. They have an irrational obsession with putting everything (yes, everything) in categories of "good" and "evil".
Reality is much more mundane:
Writing systems going from right to left most probably have their origin in chiseling in stone. Working with chisel&hammer is much more easy when you work from right to left.
Writing systems going from left to right have their origin in writing with a pen on parchment/paper etc, because here the direction from left to right is more easy to do.
Thats all, folks. There is nothing "metaphysically evil" in the hebrew language. It's just a language, okay?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
