Conservapedia celebrates its 3rd year
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Conservapedia, launched on November 21, 2006. The Conservative Bible Project aims to rewrite parts of the Bible to suit conservative needs. According to an Associated Press story reported December 4 there is good news in right wing Bible land.
Andy Schlafly, son of longtime right wing matriarch Phyllis, is the founder of Conservapedia.com, the Conservative Bible Project’s online home. The project’s authors argue that contemporary scholars have turned the words of Jesus into little more than a well meaning social worker uttering platitudes
According to the Conservative Bible Project there is maneuvering room for translation in the wake of long quoted New Testament passages such as that of the Gospel of Luke of Jesus Christ showing boundless mercy for his killers: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”
Experts who have devoted their lives to the unraveling of the Scriptures are skeptical of the current efforts of Schlafly and his amateur rightist Bible sleuths.
Schlafly and his crew have a long and arduous climb ahead of them. After all, consider the frequently recited biblical parable of “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.”
