Quote:Seems legit, everything has to be worded just right so people can get brainwashed.This is not the first time words get changed or mistranslated. After all Mary was originally written as a "maiden" not as a "virgin".
'Maiden' and 'virgin' mean precisely the same thing. You're thinking of the word 'almah' which means 'young woman'.
That aside, re-writing the Bible to make it more conservative seems a bit of gilding the lily. Rather like re-writing 'MacBeth' to give it more of a Scottish flavor.
