Things that make you go hmmm

I was reading a library book on learning kanji and the author had written "she" when referring to God. I don't usually see that, but whatevs. However, someone had crossed out the "s" and capitalized the "h" to make it "He". This I find even stranger than just leaving it as "she." Why would someone even bother to "correct" this book? Did it make them feel like they accomplished something? "Now this part is acceptable to my beliefs so I can continue reading." It just really bothers me that people not only use religion to justify killing and oppressing others, they also have to deface library books as well.

At least someone else had crossed out these changes and rewrote "she" into the book.
