I grew up in the 60's and 70's when all this nonsense was really getting going. Remember the "Living" Bible? Kind of like the "Living" Constitution. A blank check for perversion.
Remember it, I still have a copy of it. My favorite verse is Luke 1:28 Gabriel appears to her and said, "Congratulations, favored lady! The Lord is with you."
Why didn't they just translate it to "Howdy"?
