wow! Big fucking deal. Just look at the gospels and acts they're contradicting each other and yet nobody noticed that. Sometimes they're parallel universes to one another. If Jesus was so real why don't you tell us some basic stuff like when he was born? Oh wait you can't because Matthew has him born during Herod the Great's reign, which is sometime before the year 4 BCE, but Luke's nativity story has to take place sometime after the Roman annexation of Judea in 6 CE. Or when he died? Or where he was born? Some say Bethlehem some say Nazareth. Or when he was crucified? Or from what place did he ascend to heaven and so on. But wait you can't because Jesus' life is a fairy tale.
That's how Christians work: they just pick and choose what they like and pretend what they don't like that it doesn't exist. It's also called delusion.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
