On one hand, they are trying to tell us that The Bible is the inerrant Word Of God, unchangeable and unchanged in the entire six thousand year history of the world. On the other hand, they are making their own modifications, totally ignorant about why we are laughing at them.<br /><br />And when they say, "exclude later-inserted Liberal passages," they, of course, mean the entire New Testament, right? These people aren't Christians. They are what John Scalzi once referred to as <b>Leviticans</b>.Call me Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704646008578216859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-62088875844359796542009-10-08T15:39:36.599-04:002009-10-08T15:39:36.599-04:00Personaly I think the only one who has the right t...Personaly I think the only one who has the right to do a rewrite is the Arthor and I haven't seen any stirring on MT Sini lately :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242354503126154979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-36733486376496807622009-10-08T10:52:23.540-04:002009-10-08T10:52:23.540-04:00I should have ended my thoughts with, what will th...I should have ended my thoughts with, what will the people who believe these versions of their truths do to make it so....<br />Thats a healthy fear of words and people~Rebecca Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14774947689324675399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-11417524358385689422009-10-08T10:48:41.481-04:002009-10-08T10:48:41.481-04:00It seems outrageous.

They do it with such diligence and purpose. It must be nice to only have to worry about their own views, goals, and ideals; it must be nice to have it so easy. I think that is why conservative ideology is so popular.<br /><br />As a liberal, I get tired sometimes after melding the vast variety of ideology and trying to find common ground so that we all can move a step forward. It is frustrating and hard work, but at the end of the day I know respect, inclusion, and diversity had their say in the matter and everyone has the right to dispute afterward.Kyle Leachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369076904327452139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-77045319241099238842009-10-08T00:11:54.027-04:002009-10-08T00:11:54.027-04:00I can't laugh at those Conservatives - they g...I can't laugh at those Conservatives - they give a bad name - guess that's normal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-47644255435631773002009-10-07T23:12:03.986-04:002009-10-07T23:12:03.986-04:00I can make up my mind on whether it's more hil...I can make up my mind on whether it's more hilarious or frightening that someone would actually take it seriously.

But then I realized how much more convenient this new approach will be for Andy Schlafly and his ilk. Now, instead of having to carefully pick and choose bible passages to illustrate their point (ignoring ones that don't) they can point to the whole bible -- their version of it, anyway -- and pretend it's the word of God. To each their own, I always say, as long as they don't go trying to foist their version of the Bible on the rest of us.<br />Best,<br />MartyMartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696228344180197628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-45766644164401243222009-10-07T20:08:15.096-04:002009-10-07T20:08:15.096-04:00thinking about the bible being *more* conservative...thinking about the bible being *more* conservative frightens me. they so must be talking about the new testament because i dont think the old testament could get any more strict about excluding those who are unclean for any reason...<br /><br />now off to make some graven marks in my flesh! sinners rejoice!!<br /><br />xxalainaxxmrs.missalaineushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542984504965262088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-90932003765832293362009-10-07T19:24:09.683-04:002009-10-07T19:24:09.683-04:00I'll give my wordy liberal Amen, sistah!I'll give my wordy liberal Amen, sistah!Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302478126147924237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-69356323995943276392009-10-07T19:08:31.856-04:002009-10-07T19:08:31.856-04:00Are you sure it was "reported", because ...Are you sure it was "reported", because I have heard that it is the WORD of GOD.<br /><br />Seriously, the arrogance to assume that the Bible needs to be translated with any sort of bias. Scholars have studied for years to perform accurate translations. There is no room for spin here. Only after the translations are performed can we have dialogue on the original biases.Ken Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425810816600512504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-19087371718060538312009-10-07T19:03:38.951-04:002009-10-07T19:03:38.951-04:00Actually, I think that was a concise way of puttin...Actually, I think that was a concise way of putting Andy in his place.
