Few instances better illustrate the point than a recent translation offered by the Oxford University Press's release of a "culturally sensitive" version of the Bible.

I had thought you were a political conservative. Surely, this is just an example of the creativity of the market.

Refuse?

Only the Word of YHWH is considered refuse.

That's a strange perspective.

That somebody values it highly enough to consider translating into culturally modern language sure seems far from considering it refuse.

Most of these oddball translations pick up some attention when first released, but interest soon wanes. I'm wondering why you find this so threatening.
