-> These right-wingers are dead serious. No matter how stupid they
-> sound.
->
I thought, when I first heard it that it might have BEEN The Onion :-)
 
-> 
-> The eager young men at Conservapedia are p.o.'d that the Bible might be
-> seen as too liberal. So they've come up with the Wiki-style Conservative
-> Bible Project, to make sure the Lord doesn't go all wobbly on us.
-> Excerpt:
-> 
-> 
-> As of 2009, there is no fully conservative translation of the Bible
-> which satisfies the following ten guidelines:
-> 
-> * Framework against Liberal Bias: providing a strong framework that
-> enables a thought-for-thought translation without corruption by liberal
-> bias
-> 
-> * Not Emasculated: avoiding unisex, "gender inclusive" language, and
-> other modern emasculation of Christianity
-> 
-> * Not Dumbed Down: not dumbing down the reading level, or diluting the
-> intellectual force and logic of Christianity; the NIV is written at only
-> the 7th grade level
-> 
-> * Utilize Powerful Conservative Terms: using powerful new conservative
-> terms as they develop; defective translations use the word
"comrade"
-> three times as often as "volunteer"; similarly, updating words which
-> have a change in meaning, such as "word",
"peace", and "miracle"
-> 
-> * Combat Harmful Addiction: combating addiction by using modern terms
-> for it, such as "gamble" rather than "cast
lots"; using modern
-> political terms, such as "register" rather than
"enroll" for the census
-> 
-> * Accept the Logic of Hell: applying logic with its full force and
-> effect, as in not denying or downplaying the very real existence of Hell
-> or the Devil.
-> 
-> * Express Free Market Parables; explaining the numerous economic
-> parables with their full free-market meaning
-> 
-> * Exclude Later-Inserted Liberal Passages: excluding the later-inserted
-> liberal passages that are not authentic, such as the adulteress story...

Holy Cow! (Sorry, Hindus) It is almost funny. 

Biblical scholars these people are not. But hey, they can trudge in that
direction, like the pastors on tv who KNOW that God wants you to be
wealthy...Hell,*I* should talk! I've started my own church, the ONLY one in
north America that will not accept money, The Church of Variable
Likelyhood. Dogma? Two. 
1. Men Lie
2. Relationships change.
Theology? As easy as Quantum Mechanics, in Buddhistic garb.

Making Jesus a conservative is really funny.  
And Helen Keller faked her blindness
Every who works at the Pentagon is gay.

What Jesus REALLY said was: "The meek will inherit the earth, and then we
can take it away from them because they are just a bunch of goddam meeks!"
