Off the top of my head, a couple of kings in England named Henry and James had their own versions of a bible written. Henry even started a whole new religion. I'm sure many other leaders have modified various and assorted texts over the centuries. After all, when a king says that he wants to rewrite a bible, who's going to argue with him?
The rest of your post really doesn't clear up anything. You discuss one of the many gods that people pray to, then reinforce my comment that there are a bunch of different bibles written by a bunch of different people. Again, if there were a god there would be just one and there's just be one accompanying set of texts. It's silly to me to think that a god would allow a bunch of folks to misinterpret a text that he/she/it wrote and then spend years hating and killing each other over the different translations.
How is "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" not gender-specific? Two of the three are male, and it's fair to assume that the ghost of a male is male ghost.
I'm not trying to start an argument here, just saying how all this stuff looks to someone peering in from the outside.
