Ah, dear heart, you'd be surprised how long this information has been around. For you I expect the highest accolade you can award something is to say "It's the Bible truth!". Do you accept that the bible of today is but a bowdlerised version of what the ancient Christians had? Are you aware that the Ceasar of the time ( Constantine,who practiced the worship of Sol Invicta up to his death) made himself Pope? He went to Nicea with his deranged mother (a most devout Christian lady) and they devised what has become known as the Nicine (Nicean) creed. It was there that the casting out of gospels they didn't like took place. So you could say that a member of another religion and a loony-tunes were the ones most responsible for the creating of your bible. As regards to the rubbish translations, try this one. A character crops up who the bible calls 'Joseph of Arimathea', familiar to everyone who had to endure watching schoolchildrens plays just before Christmas. Archeologists from the four corners dug up 'the Holy land' trying to find a town or city called Arimathea. They could have saved their energy if they had access to the Dead Sea Scrolls. These are the oldest records of parts of the bible. What does it say? (in Greek) "Yussuf, rama Theo" - which means simply, 'Joseph, beloved of God'. Nothing to do with Arimathea. No such place. Never was. Purely the work of a spectacularly incompetant monk in a scriptorium. There are so many other examples.
