Conservatives aim to de liberalize the Bible

[kidflash2008]

A conservative group is rewriting the Bible and taking out liberal ideas such as turning the other cheek and Jesus' disdain for profiteering:

{ "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

That famous line, attributed to Jesus in Luke 23:34, could well apply to the folks at Conservapedia -- the "conservative version" of Wikipedia -- who have embarked on a project to rewrite the Bible.

In an effort to rid the Good Book of "liberal bias," the group has set up the Conservative Bible Project, which aims to rewrite the Bible from a modern, conservative perspective.

"Liberal bias has become the single biggest distortion in modern Bible translations," the project's Web site asserts.

And the line quoted above is one of the group's targets for deletion in a truly "conservative" Bible. The "forgive them father" quote "is a favorite of liberals but should not appear in a conservative Bible," Conservapedia states. }

There is nothing new with taking out things the powers that be did not like to read or see in the Bible. I wouldn't be surprised if the conservative version of the Bible is the only accepted version in one hundred years.

The darn thing has already been re-written over at least 20 times depending on who was in power. That's why we have the king james version, new and old testimate. They should just add all bibles to the collection E.T atari games in the desert.
