I’ve had a couple of deep encounters with Christians recently so have expanded my project to provide translations of religious terms into secular language.

“Fishers of men”, gets translated as “pirates” for example.

Latest ones include.

I wet you with water, he will wet you with semen.

The Sun separated the light from the darkness.

Instead of “The fool says in his heart there is no God” it becomes “The immoral says in his mind there is no law (against it)”.

Surprisingly, I’m starting to get close to a modern translation of the Bible that doesn’t mention God at all.

There’s some way to go. I don’t have good secular translations for holy and priest and pray for example.

“Worship” becomes “finance”.

The English language is a pain. Why can’t I use “crime” as a verb? The English language doesn’t have a verb for illegal action.

Verb
crime (third-person singular simple present crimes, present participle criming, simple past and past participle crimed)

Good luck with that.

I suspect that your Christian mates will not be overly impressed.

Just for fun, I’m writing a paper on the philosophy of engineering.

One of the topics I will cover is “acceptance of authority” (and why that is mostly a good thing, but sometimes a very bad thing).

It reads a lot like a forgotten chapter of Diary of a Madman.

I reckon back in the days of my cave-dwelling ancestors there may not have initially been an explicit grunt for imaginary, pointing to imaginary, though there were anticipated grunts that hadn’t happened yet, and until they happened they were imaginary, so there was that

You think “crime” is a verb?

As in “I crime” and “he crimes”.

asap.

The word I’m looking for right now is adjective and noun meaning “dogged pursuit of criminal”, for Exodus 34:14. Usually mistranslated as “jealous” and sometimes slightly more accurately as vengeance/vengeful.

Unless you are good at mind reading at a distance, you’ll have to wait a few months. :)

Are you translating from a translation, or have you gone back to the original “documents”? Because…well…there have undoubtedly been quite a lot of mistranslations along the way.

Fair enough but when you claim its the word of god but omit parts it doesn’t give much reason for trust

well perhaps more to it, when you hide the metaphysical dimension, distort it with intentions that lend to displacing the metaphysical with literal interpretations, a force that way, that’s called brainwashing, the corruption of metaphor

Invent one: e.g. criming.

or introduce a foreign loan word. English is full of word borrowed from other languages.
