God was a liberal pinko

There is an effort afoot to make a version of the Bible that is more acceptable to conservatives.

I am the Word, and the Word has a liberal bias...

I'd love to see what they do with the early bits. The Snake will have the face of Darwin.

Liberal bias has become the single biggest distortion in modern Bible translations.

Some highlights:

Utilize Powerful Conservative Terms: using powerful new conservative terms as they develop;[4] 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";[5] 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


Jesus forgives her, and we can't have that!
