Lo and behold, the Bible has gotten too liberal, according to a group of conservatives. And it needs a little editing.
That's the inspiration behind the Conservative Bible Project, which seeks to take the text back to its supposed right-wing roots.
Yes, even scripture is not orthodox enough for the modern conservative. Not that it's the fault of the author(s), exactly. The group cites a few reasons why the Bible is too progressive: "Lack of precision in the original language ... lack of precision in modern language" and "translation bias in converting the original language to the modern one."
So how can the Bible be conservatized? The group has proposed a Wikipedia-like group editing project. Some of the ideas would only bring the translation closer to the original. But others would fundamentally change the text.

1:1
First the Higg's boson came to be with a photon, light defined by dark, as the quantum space-time field or quantum foam oscillated into fruition a virtual particle with an asymmetrical energy matrix. Thus it hast made what is creation.
1:2
Then thoust foam made up and down quarks, strange and charm quarks, and top and bottom quarks. And the foam was happy.
1:3 Next came thine foam's baryonic matter that thou'ist made from; and all composite particles. Then came the other matter, unknown to man and animal, but by gravity and still some to none.
Etc...
We can do the same stupid thing.
