Here's an interesting project, and one that's sure to raise the hackles of many Christians. Conservapedia, modeled after Wikipedia, has decided to rewrite the Holy Bible to fit their worldview. Welcome to the Conservative Bible Project. What does the Project intend to do? Evidently the King James Version contains a great deal of Liberal Bias, and they are going to correct it by:

1. Framework against Liberal Bias: providing a strong framework that enables a thought-for-thought translation without corruption by liberal bias

2. Not Emasculated: avoiding unisex, "gender inclusive" language, and other modern emasculation of Christianity

3. Not Dumbed Down: not dumbing down the reading level, or diluting the intellectual force and logic of Christianity; the NIV is written at only the 7th grade level

4. Utilize Powerful Conservative Terms: using powerful new conservative terms as they develop; defective translations use the word "comrade" three times as often as "volunteer"; similarly, updating words which have a change in meaning, such as "word", "peace", and "miracle".

5. Combat Harmful Addiction: combating addiction by using modern terms for it, such as "gamble" rather than "cast lots"; using modern political terms, such as "register" rather than "enroll" for the census
Accept the Logic of Hell: applying logic with its full force and effect, as in not denying or downplaying the very real existence of Hell or the Devil.

6. Express Free Market Parables; explaining the numerous economic parables with their full free-market meaning

7. Exclude Later-Inserted Liberal Passages: excluding the later-inserted liberal passages that are not authentic, such as the adulteress story

8. Credit Open-Mindedness of Disciples: crediting open-mindedness, often found in youngsters like the eyewitnesses Mark and John, the authors of two of the Gospels

9. Prefer Conciseness over Liberal Wordiness: preferring conciseness to the liberal style of high word-to-substance ratio; avoid compound negatives and unnecessary ambiguities; prefer concise, consistent use of the word "Lord" rather than "Jehovah" or "Yahweh" or "Lord God."

Here's some tidbits from the Gospel of Mark for you to peruse:

And Jesus warned them, "I caution you, beware of the bread of the intellectuals and the bread of Herod."

And as Jesus emerged from the water, the heavens opened and the Divine Guide descended like a dove upon Him:

And lastly, this is from the Epistle to Philemon:

From the KJV:

Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellow labourer,

From the new Conservative Bible:

Paul, in prison for Jesus Christ, and our brother Timothy, say to our friend and fellow volunteer Philemon,

And why the verse is being changed:

"fellow labourer" is misleading today, and falsely connotes socialism

I don't think this will fly well with those Christians who accept only the KJV, and their are quite a few denominations who fit into that category.
