Not much time now (will come back to this later!) but about this:

"The last change in the Bible, was to remove the word "booty", because it has double meaning. Now, if they're willing to change small ridiculous thing like that, then think about how important it was to change "God" into "Gods" back then when religion was much more important."

A) English is not the original language of the Bible. The meaning of the word booty in English may have changed over the years, so it has to be translated slightly differently perhaps to get across the same meaning.

B) Gods is still plural in the Hebrew texts.
