Off and on lately, Goat Rope has been monitoring the progress (perhaps regress would be a better term) of the Conservative Bible Project, which is attempting to remove its "liberal bias."
(It might be easier with different deities.)
Anyhow, a friend was chasing down related links and came across yet another endeavor, the "lolcat Bible Translation Project," which attempts to translate the same into "kitty pidgin," i.e. the imagined language of cats.
Maybe I've been living under a rock, which is a separate issue, but this was new to me. I've seen some of the lolcat pictures but it never occurred to me that someone would try this. I can't say I've read the whole thing, but I did check out Genesis and the Sermon on the Mount.
Here are the first few lines of the creation story, in which Ceiling Cat makes the world:
Boreded Ceiling Cat makes the world.
1 Oh hai. In teh beginnin Ceiling Cat maded teh skiez An da Urfs, but he did not eated dem.
2 Da Urfs no had shapez An haded dark face, An Ceiling Cat rode invisible bike over teh waterz.
3 At start, no has lyte. An Ceiling Cat sayz, i can haz lite? An lite wuz.4 An Ceiling Cat sawed teh lite, to seez stuffs, An splitted teh lite from dark but taht wuz ok cuz kittehs can see in teh dark An not tripz over nethin.5 An Ceiling Cat sayed light Day An dark no Day. It were FURST!!!1
The website also contains such items as proofs for the existence of Ceiling Cat.
El Cabrero is not officially sanctioning or recommending this version as canonical. However, the picture of Ceiling Cat making the world is worth a look.
Flying Spaghetti Monster, watch out!
MEANWHILE, Bigfoot fans are searching for Sasquatch in WV's Dolly Sods.
MISMEASURING THE ECONOMY. GDP (gross domestic product) can be a misleading measure, according to top economists.
ALL FRINGE, NO BENEFITS. A new report from the Economic Policy Institute shows the continuing erosion of employer-provided health insurance.
COAL CONCESSIONS. The Senate climate change bill has some, but it's unclear whether these will be enough to garner coal state support.e
SICKNESS UNTO DEATH. What would a day be without pondering Kierkegaard and spiritual despair?
HURTS SO GOOD. This item discusses how athletes can deal with the pain of exertion. I've tried some of these tricks and they seem to help.

I would think perhaps the conservatives could convert to Hinduisim and it would save them some editing.
I mean in the Bhagavad Gita when Arjuna is contemplating self sacrifice rather than going ahead with a war that will kill many of his friends and relatives Krsna basically tells him it is his religious duty to kill them.
Rather than a hand up and pity for the poor like the socialistic Jesus suggests- they could suggest that a hand up would be to stand in the way of the poor working out their karma that their life circumstances have put them in.
Of course they love the Old Testament too which is similar in nature. But that was the demiurge right??
