New Edition Of Bible Specifically Mentions Second Amendment

[madinmaryland]

CHICAGO—A new translation of the Bible released this week directly mentions the Second Amendment on eight occasions, and includes a version of Psalm 23 that begins, "The Lord is my shepherd, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Positive early feedback praised the new edition for its clean design, readability, and beautiful rendering of proverbs that condemn the foolish ban on semiautomatic weapons for personal use. "For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and give your enemies over to you," Deuteronomy 23:14 reads. "Your camp shall be holy, and if that means exercising your constitutional right to purchase a firearm, then that's your own damn business." The leather-bound book also comes with a handsomely crafted carrying case and a fully loaded, nickel-plated Glock 17.8mm.

13. Please, Onion, don't give those loonies at Conservapedia any ideas.

The Conservapedians actually are engaged in preparing a new edition of the Bible that will eliminate the "liberal bias". No, this is not a joke. The is alive and well, not something from the Onion or Stephen Colbert.
