Biblical:

In the beginning was the word. The word was with God. It was good.  The people were pleased.

Political:

In the beginning was the word. The word was changed. The change was revised. The revision was amended. The amendment was edited. The edit was deleted. The deletion was suspended. The suspension was removed.  The removal was superseded. It was confusing. The people were not pleased.
