All of your examples, bible etc, have all been repeatedly edited for different cultures and age groups.

People act like this is the end of Dahls legacy, yet his stories have probably been discussed more in the past 24 hours than the past few years combined.

I recommend the book Graveyard clay on the death on languages, and how the dead are still as chatty as the living- in many ways the dead are harder to silence.

> The Bible? The Torah?

Funny examples you list there, where reinterpretations still happen after 2000+ years.

The approach in your comment is very pop culture or mainstream religion view of this, not an actual, historical one.

Reinterpretation happens, but shit would hit the fan if you actually went ahead and published a bowdlerized, inclusive, LGBT-centric Quran. Salman Rushdie would have another friend in his misery.

It is worthwhile to meditate on Nassim Nicholas Taleb's idea that the most intolerant minority tends to win.
