Oh, so when atheists screw up and bring apparent contradictions that really aren't contradictions, we're supposed to clap at their findings ?
Clap? What about just be a man and admit that your holy book is wrong.
And why do you say atheist? If you went to a hindu and said "Listen, Mahabharata lied to you, there is no god with head like an elephant." You know that he would ridicule you, and then he would give you an exercise in dishonesty how "you don't understand Mahabharata" and that it is "telling the truth". Just like you would give me the same exercise in dishonesty if I told you there are no winged horses and that sky can't fall down although Quran claims there are winged horses and that sky can fall.
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"
