Quite truthfully, the day I learned about it I wanted to put it up on poeTV also. My Youtube search on it only brought up an 8+ minute rant on the topic from some boring atheist.

Of course I knew this wouldn't be breaking news to a good majority of PoE, but it's nice to at least archive what we believe is big deal. And in my opinion, anything by the Schlafly family is going to be gold.

Just for the record, the main reason for the three stars is that the dude was more annoying than funny. This is ridiculous enough in itself and the attempts at further humor fall hella flat.

Sadly we never hear from rational conservatives denouncing asshats like this.

Actually, there are plenty. Here's one: http://blog.beliefnet.com/crunchycon/2009/10/conservatizing-the-bi ble.html

I guess what's new that is that folks at least are finally acknowledging it. The millions of Americans who believe that they are following the literal word of God as written in English in an unchanging Bible, are more respected, but just as wrong as the 6,000 year old Dinosaur crowd.

From their page:

"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."

"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."

TRUE XTIANS HATE SOCIAL JUSTICE! THEM LIBERALS HAVE CHANGED THE BIBLE TO TURN US INTO PEACE LOVING COMMIES! JESUS CHRIST WANTED WAR NOT PEACE!

When they're done with it it'll just be two pages, one that says "render unto caesar" in big letters. And the other with the annotation that says "caesar = US health care providers".

No no no.


It's totally okay to kill/hate/enslave the ENEMIES of God.

I always wondered about that part of the Book of Revelations, since it obviously doesn't take into account necessary translation exposition.

I guess John just didn't imagine there would need to BE a translation, since he just assumed it would just happen a month later anyway.

"raped by plague locusts"

Thank you Xeno, laugh-cramps are the perfect way to start my morning

7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails:

Expanding because 'plague locusts' doesn't quite capture the horror of what Schlafly's going to be raped by.

Oh man, now you're giving me ideas!

Imagine! Insert Lehmen Brothers in lieu of the meneylenders in the marketplace! Call some of the apostles Rush, Glenn, and Tripp. Instead of turning water into wine, how about some Rockstar? We need to make the Bible MODERN.

SHUT UP

The quadrotor drones might be listening.

I like this idea!

Be excellent to each other
And party on, dudes

4 stars because the presentation is so painfully unfunny.
