DISCIPLES IN THE MOONLIGHT takes place in the not-too-distant future after the government has banned the Bible for its “offensiveness” and replaced it with a government-approved version. A small group of Christians are recruited to smuggle God’s Word to underground churches throughout the Midwest. With a ruthless federal agent in hot pursuit, the believers must choose between following the law or honoring and trusting God.
replaced it with a government-approved version
Which is literally what the Bible is, the original text and the King James version.
And they had more than one “ruthless federal agent” back then too. They weren’t big fans of Catholics and their “non-approved” version of the Bible.
So they’re just preparing people to break the law as long as some right-wing extremist tells them it’s ok. Awesome.
Actually there are routinely efforts to revise the bible, typically coming from the right. I don’t know if the Conservative Bible is still online, but it was a noted example in the 2010s.
Also check out the Lolcat Bible, which crowdsourced a translation of the whole thing into Lolcat speak. Not government approved, though.
The Bible has been revised so many times throughout history too.
Do they not like banning books that upset people anymore?
But I hear everybody here is outta sight… ;)
