Which makes owning their scriptures something of a valuable reference tool. <br /><br />I have no idea what Beck's version would look like, but there does appear to be something like a Faux news version going up online with that conservapaedia idea. In all cases, what appears to be going on is people seeking to validate pre-conceived biases and ideas rather than exploring Christian theology itself. Robertson I think simply skips over the book as a reference point and just makes things up as he goes along to justify his own biases. I assume there might be a market for a book of his underlying theology sadly enough. <br /><br />The other point you raise is likewise unfortunate in some respects. Religion is not going anywhere.

I'm sure I once had a Bible, but I don...Ha. I'm sure I once had a Bible, but I don't think it ever moved out of my parents' house. Probably was my Dad's old one anyhow. I don't recall us ever having a "family" Bible or even getting our own for sacraments, though my brother did get a ....er, whatsitcalled....Missal for one. Likely for no reason other than the unlikelihood of him being as pleased with a cross on a pretty gold chain as my sister and me were. <br /><br />Anyway, yes, in 100 years people will probably be able to choose between the Pat Robertson and Glenn Beck Bibles, too. Or maybe they'll co-translate.not undecidedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058430758679276980noreply@blogger.com
