::::Translating the Bible has always sparked controversy. But liberals have already been doing it, and silently permitting their distortions to spread is not an acceptable option.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 11:04, 23 December 2009 (EST)

:::::The comments are appreciated. I think an accessible, contemporary translation of the Bible is important and valuable, just as the approval of Masses being spoken in the vernacular, and not just Latin, was after Vatican Council II. I'd want to help a project that makes the content of the Bible accessible to more people, but in good conscience I can't do more than copyedit if such fundamental quotes such as the "Father forgive them" one in question here are being removed without evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that they need to be. Two wrongs don't make a right, and it's not our place to criticize Biblical text being removed by one group because of their views and then doing the same thing ourselves without making an airtight case first.
:::::I've seen analysis offered that the quote doesn't belong, but not airtight proof, and since the general tone of this Talk page acknowledges that this is a controversy among the faithful rather than an outright vandalism of the Bible that needs to be removed, why not restore the quote in the Conservative translation and annotate it? --[[User:ChrisY|ChrisY]] 11:20, 23 December 2009 (EST)
