You have got to be kidding me. The dutch and the belgians (catholics, protestants and jews) put their heads together and brought out a new bible translation. Okay, so what?
Apparently now it is no longer the virgin Mary but the girl Mary. WTF?
Yes, apparently someone decided that the bible isn't selling enough in the Netherlands. So they need to make it easier to read and more of our time. And let's hope more people will buy it again!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I should hope so but sadly enough this is true. I am dumbstruck. Bibles aren't about selling them and they shouldn't be easy to read literature for everyone. It doesn't have to be of our time. That's hardly the point of a bible. Have those dimwits even stood still and considered the consequences of changing virgin to girl?
*knocks on heads* HELLO? Anybody in there?
And what idiot decided to do this only for Belgium and the Netherlands? If you're gonna change the bible, you might want to make sure the entire christian world agrees. (Or is this an international thing and has this whole thing managed to pass me by unnoticed and mock free?)
Bloody hell. Who's negative IQ came up with this?
