“A letter?” repeated Professor McGonagall faintly, sitting back down on the wall. “Really, Dumbledore, you think you can explain all this in a letter? These people will never understand him! He’ll be famous — a legend — I wouldn’t be surprised if today was known as Harry Potter Day in the future — there will be books written about Harry — every child in our world will know his name!”

I got your back with this... BRING ON THE CHANGES TO THE BIBLE

My favorite has to be the Stinque Zombie Bible I've limited my list to English text, but I have to mention that it's even been translated into Klingon and Tolkien Elvish.

I know there's a lot floating around there I'm missing, so feel free to tack on the list! -- I'd check it for multiples, but my brain is numb... -- Also worth noting; there are at least three or four honest attempts to give the OT some proper translation from the Jewish sources.

There's only about 20 different denominations in there - they have a habit of rewriting and reinterpreting the bible every few years so. They themselves seem utterly unable to decide what their own bible should say. Also I want to say that the Zombie Bible isn't some sort of zombie survival guide. Someone with way the hell too much time on his hands dove into the bible and, line by line, added zombies and zombie invasions at every opportunity, rewriting passages so the zombies fit the story.

Which original texts are all these books translated from? As far as I am aware not one single original text of the Bible has ever been found, they are all copies with all the attendant transcription error problem. How can we be sure of something we have never seen? Nothing that is available is good evidence of what the original was, just evidence of what the transcriber wrote.

THERE IS NO ONE TRUE BIBLE.  They are all just stories of stories of stories.
