For they do not know what they're doing
by hamilcarr in10 guidelines for a truly conservative bible:.
framework against liberal bias: providing a strong framework that enables a thought-for-thought translation without corruption by liberal bias not emasculated: avoiding unisex, "gender inclusive" language, and other modern emasculation of christianity not dumbed down: not dumbing down the reading level, or diluting the intellectual force and logic of christianity; the niv is written at only the 7th grade level[3]utilize powerful conservative terms: using powerful new conservative terms as they develop;[4] defective translations use the word "comrade" three times as often as "volunteer"; similarly, updating words which have a change in meaning, such as "word", "peace", and "miracle".
combat harmful addiction: combating addiction by using modern terms for it, such as "gamble" rather than "cast lots";[5] using modern political terms, such as "register" rather than "enroll" for the census accept the logic of hell: applying logic with its full force and effect, as in not denying or downplaying the very real existence of hell or the devil.

Human Animals?
by passwordprotected ininspired by this comment (post 16581 from satanus), i dug out a quote from richard dawkins;.
i wonder whether, some 60 years after hitler's death, we might at least venture to ask what the moral difference is between breeding for musical ability and forcing a child to take music lessons.
or why it is acceptable to train fast runners and high jumpers but not to breed them.

The scientific approach to "holy books"
by behemot in"remember, always, young man, that science which has become a great power in the last century, has analyzed everything divine handed down to us in the holy books.
after this cruel analysis the learned of this world have nothing left of all that was sacred.
but they have only analyzed the parts and overlooked the whole, and indeed their blindness is marvelous.
