Bible not conservative enough?

The Conservative Bible Project is a project to render God's word into modern English while removing liberal distortions. Beginners can pick any verse, type its citation into [1], click on "SHOW STRONG'S" at the top right to obtain the Greek, and then make an edit here for all to review.

Liberal bias has become the single biggest distortion in modern Bible translations. There are three sources of errors in conveying biblical meaning are, in increasing amount:

    * lack of precision in the original language, such as terms underdeveloped to convey new concepts introduced by Christ
    * lack of precision in modern language
    * translation bias in converting the original language to the modern one.

Experts in ancient languages are helpful in reducing the first type of error above, which is a vanishing source of error as scholarship advances understanding. English language linguists are helpful in reducing the second type of error, which also decreases due to an increasing vocabulary. But the third -- and largest -- source of translation error requires conservative principles to reduce and eliminate.[1]

My Favorite example is this

The earliest, most authentic manuscripts of the Gospel According to Luke lack this verse fragment set forth at the start of Luke 23:34:[8]

    Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

Is this a corruption of the original, perhaps promoted by liberals without regard to its authenticity? This does not appear in any other Gospel, and the simple fact is that some of the persecutors of Jesus did know what they were doing. This quotation is a favorite of liberals, although it does not appear in the earliest and best manuscripts of the Gospel of Luke. It should not appear in a conservative Bible, because in point of fact Jesus might never had said it at all.

Socialistic terminology permeates English translations of the Bible, without justification. This improperly encourages the "social justice" movement among Christians.

For example, the conservative word "volunteer" is mentioned only once in the ESV, yet the socialistic word "comrade" is used three times, "laborer(s)" is used 13 times, "labored" 15 times, and "fellow" (as in "fellow worker") is used 55 times.

This is more retarded than the "green" bible that the liberal christians put out.

Shrug. Christians have been playing pick and choose with the language, the books, what they consider important, what they ignore, etc., etc., for centuries. This is just more of the same.

If you want to see bat shit, see how Conservatives are starting to revolt against Google. Now if you want a CONSERVATIVE search engine, they recommend Microsoft's bing. 

The front page RedState.com article:

Google Fraud

This may come as a shock, but I don't use the Google search service. So it took an anonymous tipster to set me off on a brewing bit of fraud going in in the Google search service: They are ham-handedly altering the suggested search terms in order to promote a coverup of "Climategate."

Google's suggested terms feature has been the source of much humor as people have gamed it to produce odd results. Type Why, for example, and you get results like these:



But Google wants us to believe nobody is searching for Climategate despite it being such a big story, but I have evidence that it's merely a coverup for political purposes.

My evidence is in the behavior of the feature itself. Watch what happens if you type in Climatega, nearly typing in the entire word Climategate:



Well that's odd. Nobody's searching for climategate at all. But wait: It's not showing me words that start with Climatega. Rather, it's showing me words that start with Climategua. Seems like a bug, right? Like those letters got pointed to the wrong place, almost.

Let's back it up a letter and type in Climateg:



At least now it's working correctly again and showing me searches that use the letters I typed in order. But still no climategate. Let's back up another letter:



Well what do we have here? Climate gate scandal. Oops. They erased climategate but didn't erase climate gate. Somebody did an incomplete job of sending the story down the memory hole. Too bad, so sad. You are exposed, Google. People are trying to get to the truth, but Google is actively trying to hide that fact.

Talk about an inconvenient truth.

Climategate? What on earth is that?

Damn conservatives anyway.

[Admiral Yi]

The S at the end of conservatives suggests at least two.

[Scipio]

Climategate? What on earth is that?

Damn conservatives anyway.

It's about a break-in at the Climategate Hotel in State College, PA.

[Admiral Yi]

Climategate? What on earth is that?

I assume it's about the hacked emails at East Anglia.

[Grey Fox]

Wait a fucking minute.

Is climate change a liberal issue? Cause I missed that train.

[Fate]

Is climate change a liberal issue? Cause I missed that train.

Indeed. And Google is a tool of the liberal conspiracy to keep the righteous white man down.

[Maximus]

I suspect no one is searching for climategate because it's a stupid name for something that has nothing to do with any kind of gate.

Poor Watergate, all its thunder stolen...

The ironic part is that it is the conservative fundamentalists who insist the Bible is literally true and now they are acknowledging that discovery the "true" word of God is more complicated then that.

Complicated enough that only modern conservative terminology can adequately translate the meaning of the bible.

from the site:

...recognizing that Christianity introduced powerful new concepts that even the Greek and Hebrew were inadequate to express, but modern conservative language can express well.

You'd think conservatives would be happy google is finally answering why there are dead pakistanis in their couches.
