"Gay Revision of the Bible" Email
Have any of you received an email telling you about a planned Gay revision of the Bible? My mom just sent it to me. The email has the subject header "Coming out soon the most evil Bible...Satan's attack on the WORD." The email itself talked a bit about it, and included a link people could go to: http://www.deadseriousnews.com/?p=237

Of course... I wasn't sure if this was true or not... seemed a bit fantastical to me. So I decided to investigate to find the truth of the matter. I Snoped it and found this: http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/gaybible.asp


*facepalm* My mom isn't even fundy. Nor are any of the people she sent the email to. I did a "reply all" and sent the snopes link to everyone she sent it to. But really... I mean, I just... *sigh*

Meh. They already came out with an X-rated Bible. It doesn't shock me that people would try to mock Scripture.

The Ark was built by a lone amateur, and the Titanic was built by an impressive group of professionals.

From "About: Dead Serious News":

"Dead Serious News is a satirical website that is updated on an irregular basis."

Pretty easy to debunk if your reading comprehension skills are fifth-grade level or above.

"Pink Cross Publishing, the same company that published a gay-friendly version of the Koran, stated that they were adding the finishing touches to the newly revised Bible. Mary and Joseph will be replaced by Mary and Josephine, a lesbian couple unable to have children the conventional way, hence the virgin birth of Jesus. All of Jesus’ disciples will be gay except for Judas. In the new Bible, all of the disciples will pair off after the Last Supper with the exception of Judas. Satan will also be straight. The new gay-friendly Bible has yet to be named."

I love that judas will be straight

12 disciples ...
11 if we don't include Judas.

They're pairing off ...

So I guess one of them has to be lonely ... poor guy. Maybe he can wait around for Matthias or whomever it was that replaced Judas.

I know, right? I immediately thought something was up... I mean, who names an actual serious news site "Dead Serious"?

I just got a reply email from one of the people I sent the hoax message to (because I originally did a "reply all" to tell ppl about the hoax). Only... this person thought that *I* was the one forwarding the email and thought that *I* had ignored the hoax message. He didn't know that I was the one who had been telling him it was a hoax LOL
