We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Mark 6:3, "And they were offended at him," becomes "The public was not open-minded about Jesus."

Huh. For a verse about Herod's daughter, they actually go back to the Greek word, note that it's usually translated "maiden" or "damsel," and then go ahead and put it as "temptress" anyway, to convey how immoral she was.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow, I think I've seen four different blogs cover the Conservapedia Bible project....

Jesus said, "I'm serious: One of you guys is going to betray me."

And Judas replied, "Don't look at me, Dude!"

Looks like all the "Verily I say unto you" became "I'm serious."

And Judas replied, "Don't look at me, Dude!"

"Cha! As if!"
