Christians: Can you see why atheists don't buy this stuff?

[vulcanlogician]

It's no secret that I am a fan of Star Trek. My old roommate and I were so familiar with Trek lore, that we could spot incongruities in the canon. When this occurred, we would sometimes whip up an ad hoc explanation to explain any discrepancies that arose. We did this out of a desire that our cherished fictional world remain logically consistent. But we knew (deep down) that the explanation was much simpler than that: there were multiple teams of writers contributing to the Trek canon, and one set of writers didn't always take into account what the others had written.

So it is with the Christian canon. And we see similar maneuvering from Biblical literalists. I offer exhibit A:

Matthew says that Judas died by hanging. Here is the account in Matthew’s Gospel: "So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself. The chief priests picked up the coins and said, ‘It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.’ So they decided to use the money to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners. That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day" (). 

Luke says that Judas fell into a field and that his body ruptured. Here is the account in Acts: "With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood" ().

Which account is correct? Did Judas die by hanging, or did he die by falling? Or are both true? ...

Concerning how Judas died, here is a simple reconciliation of the facts: Judas hanged himself in the potter’s field (Matthew 27:5), and that is how he died. Then, after his body had begun to decay and bloat, the rope broke, or the branch of the tree he was using broke, and his body fell, bursting open on the land of the potter’s field (). Note that Luke does not say that Judas died from the fall, only that his body fell. The Acts passage presumes Judas's hanging, as a man falling down in a field does not normally result in his body bursting open. Only decomposition and a fall from a height could cause a body to burst open. So Matthew mentions the actual cause of death, and Luke focuses more on the horror surrounding it.

Anyone familiar with mythology knows that multiple stories often arise concerning gods and heroes. Athena and Kali have multiple origin stories, for instance.

My question to theists is: doesn't the reasoning quoted above seem the slightest bit fishy to you? Would you at least admit that those who don't already presuppose Biblical inerrancy have good reason to call BS on this? Do you defend the interpretation offered by gotquestions.org?
