Public Domain Scripture Translation

This is super cool, a Public Domain "translation of the Latin Vulgate, using the Douay Rheims as a guide."

Also just an incredible amount of resources. I've only looked at the beginning of Genesis and the Gospel of John, but the translation seems good.

Also, the website design is perfection!

The translator is Ronald L. Conte Jr., and talk about a badass, here's what he wrote in his summary of the translation:

"I strongly recommend that everyone refrain from doing anything with this version of the Bible that might incur the wrath of God. If anyone tries to copyright or otherwise restrict this version of the Bible, may God rebuke them. If anyone promotes or distributes this version of the Bible, or frees it from unjust restrictions, may God bless them."

Oh man, I missed the best part on my first reading, he ends with:

"If anyone tries to take this version out of the public domain, may God prevent them and rebuke them. The Holy Bible should not be owned by anyone. No version of the Bible should be under copyright or other restriction. The Word of God should be freely and easily available to everyone."
