It’s amazing the things you find on the Internet. Seeing news about this particular project, on the heels of Banned Books Week, is a little disorienting. Seems there is an effort to “conservatize” The Bible. Lord knows (pun intended) the good book has been through lots of translations, selective editing, and the purging/inclusion of particular books. And that was even before the King James version! Today, we even have a Green Bible.

Truth is, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I read about this. I’ll lead you to some links, and then you can decide how to react: tears or guffaws:

The Conservative Bible Project at Conservapedia

Beliefnet: Conservatizing the Bible

Pharyngula: Conservapædia has a new project
