Atheists say the bible has been messed about with to tidy it up and make it look good, then in their next breath they say it's full of contradictions.
So why have the contradictions been left in?
One -can-, if one is so inclined, buy a modern language heavily redacted version of the "word of god". Most don't, ofc...because it's more truthy if they can imagine that it was written on a cave wall somewhere - contents be damned. This isn't exactly a new trend itself. I'd suggest that it doesn't take off like it should because people trawling for magic books are looking more for affirmation than confirmation.
