Ok today I was walking and a question came into my head. Why did god leave it to man to translate and screw up his best selling book? I mean if he's all knowing then he must have known people were going to mess up some things. Why didn't he just write the bible in every language so everyone can read and understand his correct words?

Because God didn't write that book.
It's a reference book of people and their stories. Their hardships, struggles, wars, how they felt at a particular time in their life and their own connection to God. If you read it with an open mind, you can discern which parts are true and which parts are not.
It's meant to be a starting point for the journey of spirituality but people made it out to be something other than what it is.

Some other "whys":
- why give different regions different religions. Afterall, if such a god exists, there should be only 1 version
- why do the interpretations of these religions sometimes differ so much that people kill in his name
--why does each religion have different sects / sub-sets of truth
I suppose he was busy making the donkey talk - he forgot about these minor details.
Another thing Ive noticed is gods book is really violent. Some of the movies and games of today can't even keep up with the ammount of violence in his book. If there really is a god I highly doubt he had anything to do with the bible.
I thought the only talking animal in the bible was the snake in genisis. Where's the story about the talking donkey?
forgot a u somewhere?
