Politically Correct Bible to be Rewritten

The PC version of the Bible has been deemed a disaster.
Publishers of the New International Version previously tried to make the holy text of Christianity “gender accurate” by changing phrases such as “sons of God” to “children of God” and “brethren” to “brothers and sisters”.

They also described the Virgin Mary as “pregnant” rather than “with child”, and removed mentions of people being “stoned”.

But after the 2005 update, called Today’s New International Version, was criticised by scholars and traditionalists, all of the controversial editing decisions are to be reviewed in the first complete revision in 25 years.
What's next? A PC version of the Magna Carta? The Constitution?

Heh.
