I think removing words from a dictionary is very Orwellian, and pretty darn stupid. Political correctness can really be taken too far.
I think it's important to understand the historical context of words and their corresponding concepts, at least. Although I think sin, in a religious context, can be a misused concept, and it's important to understand that.

Don't you know? Sin is relative and therefore unnecessary in a dictionary for kids. =P It is interesting that they would remove that word along with the other Christan ones. Hurray for the regular dictionary yes?

I think it's interesting, the words that they chose to remove. o_O I guess I just hope their parents have a regular dictionary for when they need it.
