valarltdConservatizing the Bible
Apparently the Bible is too liberal for the fine people at Conservapedia. Check their rewrite guidelines:
As of 2009, there is no fully conservative translation of the Bible which satisfies the following ten guidelines:[1]
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
...
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
Free Market parables. From a man who practically preached communism. From a religious movement that started as "Cast your lot among us and let us all have one purse." From a book of Law that decrees all debts forgiven every 7 years and everything back to the original owner every 49 years.
Wanna bet the adultress story comes under "liberal insert" while the Benjaminite's Concubine falls under "proper marital relations and hospitality?"
