A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adoredby little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a
great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself
with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words,
and to-morrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though
it contradict every thing you said to-day. (Emerson, "Self-Reliance")
(Tim) Last night moving boxes for the garage sale at the church-house, someone pointed out the irony of the title given this edition of the New Living Translation--the best-selling gender-neutered translation in print today. They've removed thousands of male inclusives from the text of God's Word, yet market the book (it's not really a Bible at all) under the title, "Every Man's Bible." Or rather, "every man's Bible."
So let me get this straight: naming the race "man" is hip again, now. Just keep the letters all lower case--all of them except that 'B' in Bible.
