“This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today.”
BULL SH*T! These values ARE the same values needed (and believed on today); these publishers are out of step of reality*!
The values expressed in those documents come from what God values,
and He is unchanging.
If we are now in an era with “different values”, it is our society values NOW that are wrong, not the values in those documents.
It gets better:
The disclaimer goes on to tell parents that they
“might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work.”
Some values are timeless.
It gets better; You have to read the paragraph said publishers wrote after that one on Amazon.
