Because this piece of dogma is a secular accretion.
I am amused by the perspectiveless chauvinism that characterizes
this kind of arrogant modernism.  Voluntary lectionary or no,
there is an ideological pitch for `non-sexist' bowdlerizations
of scripture being made in all denominations nowadays.  One
of the strangest mutations I've heard is `the Human One' for
`the Son of Man'; these people can't claim ignorance of the
meanings of this apocalyptic term from Daniel. They merely
idolize late-20th century intellectual fashion.  And I needn't
point out that the distance between King James and this
rubbish is far greater than that between King James and
the Greek.
