Is this the equivalent of a retrovirus?
Y'all have heard about Conservapedia, right? After all, the founder has been on the Today programme on Radio 4.
Anyway, they've got a great new wheeze going - they want a re-translation of the Bible that "enables a thought-for-thought translation without corruption by liberal bias".

The earliest, most authentic manuscripts lack this verse set forth at Luke 23:34 -Ladies and gentlemen - if you've not seen it before, gasp in wonder at the Conservative Bible Project!
Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."
Is this a liberal corruption of the original? This does not appear in any other Gospel, and the simple fact is that some of the persecutors of Jesus did know what they were doing. This quotation is a favorite of liberals but should not appear in a conservative Bible.
