My favorite is replacing the story with the fishes and loaves to "hamburgers"!


yay!:D

Bonus points to anyone who can point me to a link of a full english translation to this bible online, or where to buy it.

Once again, I run the risk of coming down on the side of theist. :)

I'm totally against this, if they're actually intending it to be serious. While ok, I can see modernizing the tales a bit, replacing "Our Father" with "Our Father and Mother" completely changes the belief system. Christianity is (nominally) a monotheistic religion. By including a "Mother", you add a deity that doesn't exist.

And why change Jesus from "son of God" to "child of God". What's the point? The character, real or not, is a male. Unless they want to make him a hermaphrodite.

Additionally, we keep with the "Men are evil theme" by keeping Satan male. Can't even suggest women might be evil. What did they do with Jezebel, I wonder?

Of course, I'm anti-politically correct as it is. I don't agree with changing literature (at the very least, in the case of the Bible) just to make it "inclusive".


I would like to know, however, how they plan on dealing with the book of Joshua...

It's a bunch of cloistered monks arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Just laugh.
