Where can i find a bible without
Where can i find a bible that contains all the stories of the original bible but without god or lord being said every two sentences.
EDIT: Or glorified to the point where it hurts my head. Would love to know more than my lukewarm mother as a atheist

I think you are missing the point of christianity. christ said you're basically walking around with the kingdom of god within your whole being. of course the main source text is going to praise the father, son, and holy spirit in every goddamn sentence. so quit being an edgy teenager.
@sezbeth: hey at least Christianity is dying in US, now once we're 60 nearly 20 percent will be religious in the US

No, I get it. I was stuck in a house with ten obese Filipinos which were all die-hard Catholics until I was 15. You've no idea the patience I've developed over those years to prevent me throttling one of their necks for being so obscenely stupid.
The only thing which kept me sane up until now was when I learned the full effects of cultural influence on the human psyche; I eventually just learned to dismiss it as simply that.

Objective analyses of the Bible are things you can find, though I'm not aware of a piece which encompasses the entirety of it. On the other hand, Greek mythology is not seeded into modern cultures as the abrahamic religions are, so we have complete textbooks and the like analyzing both the original texts regarding Greek mythology, as well as objective accounts.
That said, you shouldn't need some cut and dry version of the Bible to form arguments against it. It's been long held that the Bible itself is the atheist's greatest source of ammunition (as it were) against the religious. It's not difficult to find verses which, though presented in a glorified manner, point to obvious faults to anyone with high school reading comprehension.
I know you're trying to find some form of ammunition against your possibly overbearing religious mother, however you shouldn't expect to change anyone's mind regardless of an argument's quality, especially in a debate regarding religion. Take it from someone who was actively discussing bioethics in a college environment by age 16, just let it go.

it's the equivalent of ordering a full course meal and only getting scraps instead.

i think you should just take the bible as it is instead of looking for simplified versions to get the full affect
but idk there are plenty of updated bibles that make it sound a lot less holy
