you've got to be fucking kidding me

Apparently, the Bible is just a bit too liberal for some folks out there and they're looking to re-write it to better suit their (ahem) standards.

Among the many items you will soon find on the cutting room floor: the word "peace." Seriously. Will the expression now be: "Prosperity be with you?"

"Thou shalt not kill" and "Love thy neighbor as thyself" don't really jive with current conservative ideals, what will become of them? And what about that whole deal about rendering unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s? Seems to be pro-taxation, no?

One of the bigger questions I have is where do they find the time to re-write the Bible what with all the cheating on wives, war-mongering, and boy on boy action in airport bathroom stalls?

I still can't tell if this is a hoax or not but if it's true, it looks as though it will shape up to be the antithesis of the only Bible I can dig, the Jefferson Bible.
