The Septuagint, which found its way into the New Testament, contained numerous "redactions":

Are you saying that when the new testament writers quoted from the septuagint they made changes to the verses they quoted?
From the sound of things, anonymous people were making changes to everything at numerous times throughout its history. Not surprising; what's surprising is that while the content is as abhorrent as it is, it can be ignored or rationalized by the victims of its poisonous theology. But let's forget that-if this is the message a deity wants to get through to its people, where's the hand of divine correction?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
