Does the Bible have contradictions? Hundreds. Apparently. Only apparently.
Yeah, my Mom's favorite answer when we found an obviously clear contradiction in the Wholly Babble was "you're reading it wrong, you don't have enough faith, God will explain it when we get to heaven, go pray to be forgiven for doubting God".![]()
If that hideous evil book of fairy tales had said that 2 + 2 = 17 she (and the illiterate preachers she loved so much) would have tied themselves in knots trying to explain why it was TRUE - because if she thought for a moment that the book had a flaw (gasp!) god would send her to hell, do not pass go, do not collect $200. The Bible has well over 600 clear contradictions, thousands of ridiculous lies, and plenty of passages that are pure evil.
People often contradict the Bible. It's not a novel by any means.
I am curious enough not to give up study over an apparent difficulty, the rewards of knowing the answer are just too enticing.
But that's not everyone's cup of tea.

Then you had better get right with your pet god and obey its rules, if you are choosing to stand by the words you quote.

I don't give a fuck for contradictions in shitty mythology. Only doublethink in its mouthpieces.
"The fool says in his heart there is no God."
The statement in the Bible doesn't call for a trumpeter, but it certainly allows some pretty clear and simple deductions.
Would you like me to show some hypocrisy? or would I be in no "danger of hell fire" because hell won't ever exist?

No, you didn't.
