A Gay Bible

Yup. Alison Flood at the guardian.co.uk reports that a new "gay" version of the Bible will be available online in the spring of 2009 at princessdianabible.com.

This gay Bible is being put together by Max Mitchell, an American film producer, and published by Revision Studios of New Mexico.

It will be named The Princess Diana Bible because Princess Diana did so many "good works."


What makes this a gay Bible? We are given a clue in a preview version which describes the creation of humans as written in Genesis, chapter 2. God does not create Adam and Eve, but Aida and Eve.

"And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Aida, and she slept: and he took one of her ribs, and closed up the flesh thereof; and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from woman, made he another woman, and brought her unto the first. And Aida said, 'This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of me. Therefore shall a woman leave her mother, and shall cleave unto her wife: and they shall be one flesh.' And they were both naked, the woman and her wife, and were not ashamed."


Mitchell figures that there are so many different versions of the Bible, gays should be able to have their own version, too. "I got the idea for the Princess Diana Bible from Horror in The Wind." Mitchell directed Horror in The Wind, a science fiction comedy "in which an airborne formula invented by two biogeneticists reverses the world's sexual orientation. ...

"After the world becomes gay, religious people created The Princess Diana Bible, which says that gay is right and straight is a sin. Then they burn all the King James Bibles."

Furthermore, "There are 116 versions of the Bible, why is any of them better than ours?" asks Mitchell.


Needless to say, some Christians, mainly on the right hand of god, are terribly upset. I haven't heard from James Dobson yet, or the Traditional Values Coalition or the American Family Association, but you can bet your bippie they ain't gonna like it!

Some commentators also believe the Princess Diana Bible is "disrespectful to the late Princess..."


Ah so. Should be an interesting few months ahead. First this and I just read that an Atheist Bible is also coming out in 2009 in which God creates Adam and then Adam kills God 'cause he looks like a cow! Joke? Whatever. The Christian Right is gonna come unglued. I'll betcha they even find several OT prophecies that foretold all of this, and that it's definitely one more sign the apocalypse pends.
