Let's help the "conservatives" fix the Bible.

Apparently the Bible was translated by liberals and is full of liberal biases.
Let's help them fix it! Here I will start it.
John 8:3-8: 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let he without sin cast the first stone.” Then Jesus picked up a great big rock.

That passage likely isn't original to the book of John.

Interesting to note that the "Law of Moses" commanded the man to be present too. Where was HE?

That's what the liberals -- who are part of the conspiracy and put all of that liberal bias into the Bible -- want you to believe!! Don't be fooled!

Good question.
Hopefully no Jews still follow that "Law of Moses"!

The insane thing is that the Conservative Bible doesn't include the passage, but mainly because Jesus' being compassionate is out of character for Jesus. I'm not kidding; it's really their rationale. Not even because it's problematic for not being original.

Yes they have "evidence" that chapter 8 in the book of John was not original and was added in later -- by liberals! So they are talking about deleting it altogether.
Check out how Conservapedia "fixed" Luke 23:34.
Original: Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Conservapedia's translation : They divided His clothes, and gambled for them.

Liberal or conservative bible who the f cares, still doesn't make magic babies being born with magic godsperm or magically surviving rigor mortis real.
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.

You have to understand that in the trailer parks of Mississippi "raiment" is not a big word.
They seem to be dumbing the thing down for their current group of "followers."
I imagine that in 20 years they'll be reduced to:
"See jesus run.
Run, jesus, run.
Jesus has a cat."

They are dumbing it down. But I think that it's funny that the "Christians" swear to be followers of the Jesus of the Bible, but at the same time they don't like that he was so damn forgiving.
Maybe the Bible is going to change and Jesus is going to become more of a vigilante. Rather than going around helping the poor and caring for the sick -- and forgiving all of the losers -- Jesus and his disciples will focus on killing people that they don't like, or approve of, and fighting wars.
Charity and forgiveness is boring compared to vigilantism. Men love war!

Don't worry I am an atheist. I was joking earlier about the liberal conspiracy. What is scary is that some people really believe it -- or at least they see it as an opportunity to make some money.
