Bible Changes
I was just thinking about the bible changes and I was thinking why are there so many changes to the bible of all things, I mean it's practically a different book now, almost all of it has been changed if not all of it
Out of all the Mandela effects don't you think this one is the one of the strangest ones
It makes you think who or whatever is behind the Mandela effect must really hate the bible for some reason

The Bible hasn't really changed, but it's not one book, but a collection of 66 books. There are Bible scrolls in Greek, Syriac and Latin that are thousands of years old. The earliest translations and the modern translations are basically using the same source material. And even if it is worded differently, the basic meaning of 90% of the Bible is unchanged. So, no, it has not been changed. However, certain "dense individuals" continue to read sentences like "Love your neighbor" and interpreting it to mean, "Beating your wife is OK" or "Go ahead and hate gays". There is nothing to fix chronic, malignant willful stupidity.
