I'm not so much an atheist as I am an antitheist and a huge part of that is that religion doesn't exactly promote critical as much as it promotes dogmatic thinking.
I mean the bible and all other major religious texts have been re-written and filtered through the hands of the kazahrians/molochites to serve their purposes(would still be antitheist but would find a lot more value in what's in the bible if this wasn't the case...) and this is just one of MANY examples....
Another example is the whole 666 thing, this is their number and so is a lot of the things associated with it, I mean satan means adversary translated literally and they feared it so much that they changed the original number(616) and the whole story to make a badguy........
The reason I thought to remember/mention this is OP's more correct translation headline as these two are definitively related.....
Man’s religion may promote dogmatic thinking, the Lord certainly doesn’t. Interestingly enough, most of the times God is chastising individuals or nations in Scripture, He is blasting them for NOT thinking clearly and using the wisdom and logic he gave them. Christ is literally the ‘logos’ after all.
Then refer to the Greek. You will find a mistranslation every time. Gentile is used to replace 34 different words and sometimes even sentences. Sentences in the Greek language that are rich with meaning and metaphorical interpretation.
They replace words with power like «έθνος» = nation.
They replace words like: «ελλην» = Greek - a great civilisation of the time.
Every time they moderate greater words - for a word that represents simply “non-Jew”.
The words of the Bible of strength and stature can not simply replace the words with “gentile”.... you are not simply a “non-Jew”.
Imagine if the Bible was written today and they replaced - Nation; USA and entire powerful sentences filled with meaning with “gentile”.....
Jesus fought the Jewish priests supremacy and preached equality for all, before his crucifix action. And he never ever used a weak word like “non-Jew” to replace these ideas...
And yet many Christian evangelicals are obsessed with joining the “Jewish tribe” of Jesus. Jesus was a rebel of racial superiority. He was for equality under god.
Are you now still surprised - at the division in USA? When even the Bible was manipulated into tribal affiliation... and demolishes strong words and concepts?

Is sorta at odds with a lot of the stuff written in the bible, the reason should be obvious....
Can you give me an example?
Look for the word “gentile” in the Bible...
