I don't want to slam somebody else's religion. I mean as a Catholic, we're basically cannibals: We eat Jesus every Sunday, you know? So who am I to say your religion is creepy?
The history of English is full of that, lots of things done with good intentions that 200 years down the road have resulted in a giant mess, where someone's pet peeves - like John Dryden and his hatred of terminal prepositions - could become real standards.
