How about some revisionismed texts in current use?

Three bug me the most
1. "Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me"

WRETCH is replaced with a variety of words that all imply no sinful nature, just an impoverished economic or cultural environment. and LIKE ME is usually replace with the collective US.

2. God said: "Am I my brother's keeper? Yes, you are your brother's keeper."

WRONG. That lying murderer said "Am I my brother's keeper?" In an attempt to throw a red herring into his attempts to escape God's justice. God commanded to be keepers of the plants and animals. But we specifically are NOT our brother's keeper in God's plan.

3. "Robin Hood, Steal from the rich and give to the poor"

WRONG. The government/politicians/Sheriff of Nottingham stole from middle class people for the personal benefit of government employees. Robin Hood stole back the property that the sheriff had stolen and returned the stolen property to its rightful owners.

The poor were not involved in the transfers of property as they had nothing worth stealing.

Be ready to help and forgive.

Unless you consider yourself genetically superior, in which case smoke 'em.

And how about "God helps those who help themselves"?

3. "Robin Hood, Steal from the rich and give to the poor"

There is a Far Side cartoon about how, before his mission in life was clarified, Robin Hood went around stealing from the rich and giving to the porcupines.

I was just think about what Robin Hood really was - he rebelled against high taxes!!
