Isn't this inherently the very nature of religion in the first place?

What is the bible (or the Qur'an or whatever) but little more than a game of telephone played over hundreds or thousands of years by people of differing perspectives and motivations? Ever heard two (or more) people describe an event they both witnessed in nearly completely different terms?
