How do you reconcile believing the "King James" version of the bible is supposedly the "word of god" when it is very clearly and demonstrably a book that has been repeatedly mistranslated and purposefully altered by a politician to serve their very terrestrial, non-religious purposes?
I mean, it's literally called the King James VERSION, meaning it is no longer (if it ever was) the word of god. How do you just ignore the clear fact that it is obviously just a book written by people for their own personal gain?
Genuinely interested.

Dude, the people of England didn't ask King James to translate the bible for them. They already had translated bibles.
James made changes to the bible that served his purposes, legitimized laws and rules he passed, and hmfiether cemented his rule. It was not a case of a king giving his people an acceptable gospel. It was a case of an unpopular ruler changing a religion for his own self-serving purposes.
You really ought to learn the truth of the things you base your life on.
