A Second Proposal

To complement the first proposal, I have decided to make a second one and offer it to Madonna. I believe that in tribute to all the past authors of The Bible, and also to preserve its value, she should begin, starting with the book of Genesis, to convert the Bible into a format understandable by Generation X. She has already done this with selected passages from the book of Revelation as well as sprinkling her music with other minute parts of The Holy Bible.

This is a good start, but our generation needs more. We need it available in a way that is directly and immediately accessible, as we are a very impatient and demanding gereration. Many of us have also been conditioned into thinking by the powers that be that The Bible is boring and not worth our time. This needs to change.

Madonna has the ability to change peoples minds about such things with her music. She could make the words of The Bible into beautiful songs, and Generation X-ers love music. If necessary, she could also choreograph X-rated dances to be performed while the words are read. This, regretably, is the only way to reach many of those who are particularly dissolusioned about life and believe that they have no hope. I encourage her to begin this project ASAP, as the great length of The Bible could have her working until she reaches old age. I believe she will judge this to be worth her time. It will preserve The Bible and provide a well-overdue translation. If she declines, I am sure God will be ready to forgive her, as He always does, and find another way to make this happen if He deems it worthwhile.
