If you're like most Christians, you like to read the Bible, but you've probably been deeply damaged by the message of redemption, driven by a left wing bias. Luckily, we no longer have to read a Bible full of love and forgiveness thanks to our friends at the "Conservative Bible Project!"
Lead by Adam Schlafly (son of conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly) the CBP promises to free the mind of pesky Bible stories like the woman caught in adultery. Who needs Jesus forgiving a whore? Adultery is destructive to society and must be punished by death. And that's not all, how about a Bible promoting free market values, instead of all that take care of the poor crap? The main arguement by the CBP is that readers cannot trust the history of Bible formation. A reader of the Bible cannot know that Jesus was a republican because the Bible has historically been formed by a liberal conspiracy.
_______________________________________
Are they serious? A couple points, first, the people behind the CBP are not truly conservative. A conservative seeks to conserve historic Christianity, especially the canon of scripture. Conservative/orthodox belief fights against liberal tendancies to continually reshape scripture based on what they want at any given time. To see folks, who have been recognized as conservative leaders, advocate a manipulation of the Bible is heretical and blasphemous. They must be publicly rebuked and defeated. Contemporary Christianity has a enough of a problem fighting against the religious right and left. It does not need the problems a "Conservative Bible" would cause.
I have had enough of the religious right and left, robertson and wallis. These folks have no desire to understand what Christianity has historically confessed. They are only interested in their current, selfish political desires.
