Definitely not as ridiculous as all the "holy book quotes" you keep making up.
"Forgive them, Lord, for they do not know any better."

What Roman editing thing?
There are still in exist today over 2,300 manuscripts of New Testament books which predate the Council of Nicene (where it is claimed that the New Testament was edited). Yet those manuscripts, which predate the Council by as much as 300 years, are word for word the same as the New Testament after the Council.
Kind of hard to call that an "editing" why nothing was changed.

A lot less ridiculous that I think you are implying. The bible isn't actually a completed book. It is a collection of records that have been edited, as you say. I call it forgery.
If these documents had not been poorly translated, forged, cut and pasted, or eliminated, there might be a collection of very interesting reading.

It would have been great.......
Peter resurecting smoked fishes. Judas getting word from Christ that he had to turn on him in order for prophesy to be fulfilled. There are many great stories that most Christians are missing out on.
The Romans had to edit the available doctrine in order to have it make sense. It is also becoming clear that they actually edited most of the text in the actual NT books as well.

The bible was never edited by the romans.

It actually wouldn't even resemble the bible people believe today. It would resemble what it is, a mismatched collection of pagan myths, with a variety of different gods represented.

No doubt.
Before this it was a collection of silly and naif stories, which this "edition" turned into mysteries of faith!...

It's hard to think that it could get much worse, but...
Yeah, probably pretty bad. Why on earth did they leave in what they did, though? Well, I guess they had to leave something.
