There is actually a group of people right now engaged in a new translation of the bible. Their concern was that the bible was too liberal, and depictions of Jesus as a peace- and- love hippy was competely wrong. So, some fine theologians from Bob Jones university are making their own bible, one with all those pesky references to love and hippyness removed. Yes, it comes with pictures. Gone are the ones with Jesus wearing the white robes and with the long hair, though. Now they modeled him after John Tesh..(or was it john Ashcroft?) Of course, Charlton Heston is Moses (a no brainer) and they got Bruce Willis to model for the part of Paul of tarsus.
They took out the entire sermon on the mount. They felt this was really the most troubling and problematic part of the whole Bible. They did leave the story in about Jesus turning water into grape juice. Yes, grape juice. The consensus was that wine was too "french", and therefore un-american.

As you scroll down and read this link, pay close attention to some of the examples they set forth. At first, I thought it was a joke or hoax, but sadly...it's not! These people are serious about actually taking out parts of the bible that they don't agree with!

So, of course the image of Jesus will be replaced with this:

which in thier opinion, is far better then this:
