It is a book of myth, OT, NT, CT, VA, OH, FL No matter who printed it or what version or where it was printed, it is STILL a book of myth.
based on who's opinion? the only difference between a myth and a miracle is two things, the one telling the story and the interpretation of the listener.

So essentially everything regarding your deity is false?

Or the person changing the story because they don't like how it was originally written...

Yes the wording is important. I suppose this is how people rationalize changing something that they argue that they believe in and base their life around. I think that you'd have to argue that their faith is pretty weak if they think that they can change it.
They are "translating" the Bible by removing parts that they don't like. They have even suggested removing entire chapters.
Here is something from the "Christian Post"
http://www.christianpost.com/news/fundam...ble-41327/
"I still can’t help but think that someone is spoofing here," commented Dave Doran, president of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary and senior pastor of Inter-City Baptist Church in Allen Park, Mich.
"[T]his is exactly the line of argument that liberals make when they want to follow the so-called trajectory that they see in Scripture by moving from an ancient, unenlightened view to a modern one (e.g., on gender issues or homosexuality)," he noted in his blog Wednesday.
"Basically, here conservatives (falsely so-called) are adopting the same trajectory strategy-Jesus introduced concepts that weren’t fully developed yet, so now we can 'translate' them into fully developed conservative ideas. This isn’t conservatism at all. It is heresy. Hokey heresy, but still heresy."
Like most critics, Doran is hoping the project is "simply an unfunny joke."
Judging from Conservapedia's announcement, however, it's not.
