The Bible is too liberal!

Wing whackaloons at Conservapedia have a new project they’re working on: Re-translate the Bible to meet their standards.
The Bible, you see, is just too darn liberal.
So they’re re-working it.
Among other things, they want to avoid emasculating it with unisex, “gender-inclusive” language;
to explain Jesus’ “economic parables with their full free-market meaning”;
to remove liberal falsehoods such as “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”, and
later-inserted liberal passages that are not authentic
, such as the whole “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone” bit;
and to get rid of socialistic terminology, such as “comrade”, “laborer”, and “fellow” (as in “fellow worker”, they note).
