Conservapedia vs The Bible
By Kasson
Because everyone everywhere apparently speaks with a liberal bias, someone had to create a website called “Conservapedia.” This differs from Wikipedia by twisting all conventional wisdom toward conservative opinion.
Fine, whatever. If you want your kids to think the earth is 6000 years old (and they DO), then this is the website for you.
And if you think Conservapedia might have a biblical bent, you are right. BUT, as I said before, everyone everywhere speaks with a liberal bias, and now that includes the Bible.
The brain trust at Conservapedia has finally noticed the Bible’s distinct liberalism. I do not even disagree with their judgment, what with all the ‘caring for the poor and the sick.’ Or such liberal ideas as ‘turn the other cheek,’ which in the case of current liberalism is: when you take a beating, you should join the other side (in a if you can’t beat them, join them mentality).
Here is what I have a problem with, Conservapedia wishes to change the Bible to rid it of all liberal bias. I consider this sacrilege. Conservatives (at Conservapedia, I realize that they are not the voice of all conservatives), you cannot change the Bible’s words. If you already twist the meaning of passages, why would you need to change the words themselves?
One guideline is to avoid “dumbing” down the bible, and another is to avoid “liberal wordiness.” I will be surprised if they can manage to avoid using the “big” words in the Bible currently, without dumbing it down.
I can’t wait for the changes though…..
To quote Stephen Colbert: While the bible quote is “The meek shall inherit the earth” what Jesus meant was… “The meek shall inherit the earth if we can repeal the federal estate tax. Seriously. 45 percent for estates over 3.5 million? Spareth me.”
