From what I have seen, looking at Mark 1, this so-called conservative Bible is very liberal. I see no evidence that the composers even read the original languages. I appears to be worse than a free paraphrase, adding words not in the original text. For example, they have for eremos, Greek word of wilderness, "wilderness of skeptics," on no Greek basis whatsoever. They put words in with no Greek basis. They don't seem to care what the lexicons (Greek dictionaries) say.
I don't regard Conservapedia as Christian, neither there doctored Bible as a genuine Bible. The product appears to be an outrage to a Bible-believing Christian. Now if you go there and tell them that, you may well find yourself insulted and banned from posting there. I regard their product as a non-Christian liberal disgrace.
For example, take Ezekial 4:9, which formerly read "Then take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and winter wheat. Put them in a container, and use them to make bread for yourself." Now it reads "Then run down to Piggy Wiggly and buy some Wonder Bread, none of that whole grains crap. Put some peanut butter and jelly on it and eat it as the good Lord intended."

As a wee girl, when a bully pushed me down--or when I LIED about not being allow to bully others into doing things MY WAY--I'd run back to the house [working up a sweat & a good cry as I ran, hair & tears flying] & fetch the dreaded BIG BROTHER to come and settle things [in my favor, of course.]
New translation of the Bible? I can hear it now, from under the closed doors on the far right side of the argument: "Let's show God's on our side....I feel lead, prophetically, by the Spirit that we should weed out all the liberal bias translated INTO the scriptures...." and it goes on.
LIBERAL BIAS? Whatta ya been smokin'? This the same Bible on which men began the Crusades? Killed off the Witches of Salem? Inspired Hitler to rid the world of Jews? Oppressed the poor for 2000 years? Kept women knocked up and barefooted and powerless all this time? That Liberal Bias? Oh, I see.
One more thing: ever hear of separation of Church & State? There was a reason for that. In American government, it doesn't matter what anybody's holy book says.

What the Conservative Bible Project really needs are translations of Bible passages from famous conservatives. Instead of "use a little wine for thy stomach's sake", we could have Rush Limbaugh saying, "try a little OxyContin, which will give you the intestinal fortitude to fight off the feminazis."

I think thats a very sound idea. The liberals under king james corrupted the true meaning of the bible to further their liberal agenda. By re-affirming what the bible really says there wont be room for liberals to claim that there is question on key issues such as abortion and homosexuality. This will lead to a stronger and more cohesive society under God to fight the muslims. Rather than the twisted version we live in today that allowes fags and baby killers to escape condemnation as the bible is misrepresented.
I also suck dick.

This is probably just some kind of joke - I can't imagine conservatives really attempting something like this.
Just make a list of 'liberal translations' to be avoided.
Its gotta be a joke.
Kind of like Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good ... it really means Catholics for Abortion, Universal Health Care, Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants, and Marriage for all.
Orwellian terms, anyone? The year 1984 is here!

The ultra-conservatives rewrote history, now they’re rewriting the Bible. And the scary thing is, they might get away with it. It’s kinda funny in a sad way, cause in the framework of his time Jesus was most definitely a liberal.

This is a bad idea. It boils down to a group changing the Bible not to promote original accuracy but in order to promote the groups agenda and beliefs. How can a group who generally believes the Bible to be the literal word of G-d be for changing some of it. It is contradictory and would be akin to changing the word of G-d.

Colbert featured this 5 minuets ago telling people to put him in the bible. It was gone within five minuets.
