We’ve featured Andy, son of Phyllis Schafly and his anti-reason heavily monitored blog site, Conservapedia before [1]. His latest project is to create an edited version of the Bible better suited to American Reactionary philosophy.
Yes, he is removing all those Liberal parts where the inerrant Word of God must be wrong.
[2]Mark C. Chu-Carroll (Good Math blog) wrote The Conservative Rewrite of the Bible [3] where he gives specific examples of what is being edited and why. Like removing any mention of “government”, and merging all the names of God to avoid confusion. Even God, in his 10 Commandments, says to forsake all those other Gods over which he has no control and only worship him.
Schlafly represents this as a new, better translation. But he is using the KJV as his primary source. The English translation with the most known inconsistencies from original source material is his best version from which to start. Well, might as well. After all, he will be “fixing” God’s Word.
Even conservative Christians that I know think that this is a crazy project.
