Last night, Stephen Colbert gave a “tip of the hat” to Conservapedia, a conservative reference website which wants users to identify “pro-liberal terms used in existing Bible translations.” Needless to say, Colbert agreed that said tome was too liberal. “After all, the Bible says Jesus fed the poor,” pointed out the faux pundit. “It should say, he fed the rich and let the loaves and fishes trickle down.” But the “best part”, according to Colbert, is that, because Conservapedia is user-edited, fans can “add” SC himself to the good book. “Nation, I want you to go to Conservapedia and make me a biblical figure!” he ordered his army of followers.
The response of Conservapedia was to post a “special message” to Colbert watchers suggesting they watch less television. Hey, what kind of thanks is that for being given a generous hat-tip?
Check out the clip below, and tell us if you think Colbert is a saint or a sinner.

If he can get a space treadmill named after him, he can get the Book of Colbert added to the Bible.
“And he sayeth in The Word, thou Table shall spread thy good of Jeff Goldblum and smite thy Staring Goat. So sayeth the Keyboard Cat.” Colbert 3:09
Stephen Colbert is awesome.
“Watch less television”? YOU ARE WIKI-ING THE FREAKIN’ BIBLE!!! And for the record, The Bible is the most progressive, liberal piece of literature in history, so good luck with that whole conservatizing thing.
Oh, really? How so? Does that include the parts about not letting witches live? Or the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah due, in part, to homosexuals?
Hmmm so obviously in the tale of his journey Jesus was talking about the United States and their warring political parties!! Are you out of your minds???? Stop blasphemizing God’s word and don’t try to use it as political propeganda. It isn’t about electing a political party but how to find salvation and be saved through the grace of God.
Oh. It’s on.
i know there’s no point in trying to rationalize any of this “conservatizing” of the Bible but let me just say this: if you need to alter the Bible for your own personal needs, there really is something very wrong with you.
Actually, you can’t blaspheme God’s word, you can only blaspheme GOD, and that’s assuming he’s there to be blasphemed.
no but maybe you can blasphemize it! lol
thanks, I’ve been on this site all day reading the craziest nonsense. It’s awesome and scary that something like this exists. When did Jesus become the property of conservative Americans only?
I’ve been trying to get to the site, but I think all the attention has their servers crashing!
LMAO @ Stephen! As long as we have free thinking people like him, we can avoid another book looming large: 1984.
Um, this is perhaps neither here nor there, but someone should tell Stephen Colbert(or whomever or whatever writes his material) that Sunni Muslims and Shi’ite Muslims are two different things. One of his recent jokes conflated the two. Somehow I don’t think Osama Bin Laden would have approved. Cheers…Greg Cameron, Surrey, B.C., Canada
