On translations: it's also not viable as we have the original language versions and there are loads of scholars at universities the world over constantly studying them. And we've got loads of different translations too. A translator could not pull the wool over people's eyes today.
Not today, but 400-500 years ago definitely. Most people who study religious texts agree that the translations that are popularly used are pretty bad and that the language used completely corrupts the original meaning. However, they've become so popular that nobody wants to change.
Religions are built by tradition. And these **** translations have entered that tradition
