When I first heard of the Conservative Bible Project I thought it had to be some sort of wonderful joke reminiscent of the early Landover Baptist Church site. Sadly, it's real. This offends me, and I'm an atheist.

Jesus, when have you ever before heard the King James Version lumped in with Liberalism?

Oh for God's sakes...'the NIV is written only at a 7th grade level...' Who are these idiots? Translation is an exceedingly tricky business, and frankly if your logic depends on a reading in one language that isn't available in another, then how can it be logical at all?

The OT was written in Hebrew and Aramaic. Jesus spoke Aramaic, as did most Judaeans of his day. The NT was written in Greek, primarily because most of the NT that comes to us was written for Gentile conversion--and they, by and large, in the Eastern Roman world, were kóinê Greek speakers.

Thank you so much for posting that link, Bob Head. I like to get a heads up on idiots before they sneak up on me. I might have missed these morons.

Unbelievable.

Having translated passages from NT out of Greek, I don't think that it's even written at a 4th grade reading level (when compared to serious, classical Greek literature), except maybe the Gospel of John, and that has more to do with concepts than the words used.

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. Well, the problem there is that the "devil" and the concept of hell don't really show up in the Bible.

Socialistic terminology permeates English translations of the Bible, without justification. This improperly encourages the "social justice" movement among Christians. Well, that's going to be difficult, as Jesus was basically running a commune.

The Bible - the unalterable sacrosanct word of god is now a "conservative" (see: paleoconservative christian dominionist) wiki project.

Better not let any of those pinko concepts like charity and compassion enter the Bible! Jesus was a REAL conservative!
