I didn't feel the NASB had the best translation. I'm not really sure how to quantify that. I just didn't like the way the NASB translated some passages that I looked at. Of course, I actually prefer the King James if I have to read the Bible in English, because I think it's a more literary achievement.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Probably for the same reason you have so many translations of the Bible.

May I ask why you have the NIV rather than the NASB? *NM*
