Slog Tipper Jen informs us that some people are trying to make a fair and balanced Bible. They want to remove all of what they perceive as liberal bias from the Good Book.

7. Express Free Market Parables; explaining the numerous economic parables with their full free-market meaning
8. Exclude Later-Inserted Liberal Passages: excluding the later-inserted liberal passages that are not authentic, such as the adulteress story

Do the "Later-Inserted Liberal Parables" include the entire New Testament? Because that Sermon on the Mount sounds kind of Big-City Elitist to me. The good news is that they might be planning on doing this Conservatizing of the Bible as a wiki, which would provide hours of entertainment for all of us on the internet. Here is the first example that they have:

The earliest, most authentic manuscripts lack this verse set forth at Luke 23:34:[7]

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

Is this a liberal corruption of the original? 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 but should not appear in a conservative Bible.

This is all I have to say about that: Jesus fucking Christ. In other Supreme Being news today, Ecocomics links to a PDF of a physics paper by one Ben Tippett which sets out to explain how all of Superman's very different powers (flight, strength, heat and x-ray visions, freeze-breath) are actually just one power used in many different ways.

You will note the pleasing capitalization of the "H" in "he."

UPDATE: Gold Star Comment goes to this one:

If there's one complaint I've always had of the Bible, it's that it's too liberal.
