12. Hey, what does God know anyway.
He must be a liberal. I would like to see some organized protests on this. It would be great for the media to cover this story.

13. I bet I know why they are trying this...


Because in the new MM movie he reclaims Jesus as on the Liberals side.

"Can't have that." Conservatives scream ..WE OWN JESUS! Even though we ignore everything he said.

JEEBUS!

15. This is beyond parody, beyond absurd, beyond Orwellian.
This is the final admission that today's conservatives do not believe in truth, only ideology and propaganda.

How can you change something for partisan purposes that you formerly claimed was the word of God, the ultimate Truth?

These people aren't Christians, they should start their own religion.

Edited on Tue Oct-06-09 07:45 AM by mod mom
"The Family". I highly recommend it! I'm not religious, but it goes against everything I learned growing up (ie helping those less fortunate) and plays right into the GOP selfishness, making them feel it's ok to turn their backs on the less fortunate.

18. This is also the reason so many people
turn away from Christianity - they read the Bible and start noticing all the things that don't match what they're being told.

When the Bible contradicts what the Rabid
Repugs are preaching,

they re-write the Bible!

They are so twisted.

20. These people really are members of the religion of selfishness.
Edited on Tue Oct-06-09 09:49 AM by robo50
Honesty and integrity, be damned, as far as they are concerned.

They know no such value. All that is important to them is their own unbridled greed, and they won't let the bible stand in the way of that!

HITLER'S 12 COMMANDMENTS

By Mark Ellis Foreign Editor 8/08/2006

Nazi Bible demanded 'love Adolf'

HITLER rewrote the Bible with TWELVE Nazi commandments, it has emerged.

New demands included "Honour your FŸhrer" and "Keep the blood pure and your honour holy".

Just one of about 100,000 Third Reich Bibles has been discovered in dusty archives.

Aimed at boosting the Nazi vision, it is called Germans with God.

All Jewish words, such as Hallelujah and Jehovah, and all sentiments of compassion are erased.

Advertisement - article continues below »

The 10 Commandments are rewritten and two more added. "Thou shalt not kill" and "Thou shalt not steal" are scrapped.

Hitler ordered race theorists to rewrite the Bible so he could harness the power of the religion he hated to his cause.

Thousands of churches received copies in 1941. It is believed most were destroyed by Christians.

The surviving copy was discovered in church offices in Hamburg.

26. So they'll edit a fictional document to give themselves "divine mandate"...
I personally hate the bible and don't really care what the dittoheads want to do to it, but this just illustrates how completely braindead, cynical, and ultimately hateful toward any measure of truth or reality these people are.

I'm not sure there is an argument more abjectly worthless than "I rewrote the bible so that my words come out of the mouth of Jesus" or a mentality more basely simian than the one needed to take it seriously. On the other hand, if there is I'm sure the republicans will devolve into it eventually.

33. Missed this.
One of the best videos this week imo. At least they are finally admitting the bible has a liberal bias, even while they change the 'word of god' to reject it. Priceless.

34. Thanks for the post...... It is hard to keep up with all the crazy going
on, but now the Republican christians are challenging a book that has been used for thousands of years,because it doesn't fit their life style.
