Chris has committed an even more basic error. The Bible "as we have it" absolutely was NOT compiled by "17th century white dudes", as though the KJV is "The Bible".
The selection of books was formed by centuries of church consensus, not any one individual or committee (which is why Catholic and Protestant canons differ slightly). Even then, that canon was extremely well established by the time the KJV came out.
And while he's entirely correct that a lot of translations in the KJV (and even translations today) are politically and theologically motivated, any retard can compare translations side by side and see where that's taken place. Even if you're not a Hebrew/Greek speaker, there are plenty of resources on the difficult and controversial translation choices. Not to mention that modern translations have FAR MORE manuscript evidence than older ones. Modern translations aren't revisions of the KJV, the vast majority of them are entirely new, using the best compiled manuscripts available (which, while not perfect, are generally reckoned to be pretty damn close). They're more accurate, not less.
Maybe Chis should've been held back a couple grades in Catholic school.
