2. But, if that's the case, and the bible was 'correct' then why should it ever need to be 'updated' or looked over at all? personally to me, it just seems they're trying to keep people faithful by attempting to have the bible fit in with everything.
3. Forgot the point of 'same basic story, and that's a good idea, but...it wasn't until about 400 years ago white people found blacks in America and so on, and the salve trade began...actually, I think it was later than that...but anyway, these isolated people had their religions long before they came into contact with anyone who would have had a clue what christianity is.
Plus, even if the story could become slightly warped...how does Jesus end up as a four-armed elephant headed god? I can't see how any amount of story changing short of an entire re-writing of the bible could result in that. And that's among other examples.
