Once upon a time, there was a book called the Bible. It was basically the history of, well, everything. It was also very long and incredibly difficult to read.
As time passed, it was translated from language to language, and slowly was rewritten in a way that most common English-speaking people could understand. Of course, more time passed, and it became easier and easier to comprehend, and more and more distorted. One of the things you have the understand about humans is that they have no self-control. They have no idea when enough is enough. Eventually, children are going to be reading from a Bible that looks nothing at all like it looks today.
Let's hope it looks just a little bit better than this.
