It hasn't? I certainly meet people who believe that any other version
is somehow evil, that ONLY the KJV is correct, as if the Bible had been
written in that Early Modern English, and all other versions were
translations of it (which I suspect many of those KJV-supporters
believe).
And anyway, it's my preferred version for the Psalms. Of course, I also
prefer the "Our Father who art in heaven ..." to the Contemporary
English version.
