Bible is filled with impossible stories that are clear telltale signs it's all bunch of lies. Like, take the Roman census in Luke where everybody had to go to ‘his own city’. I mean imagine that stupidity that you have to travel because of the census.
And on top of that Joseph lived in Nazareth, his ‘own city’, yet according to Luke, Bethlehem was his city. Why? Because he was descended in the male line from King David, and David came from Bethlehem and by Luke’s own account, David was Joseph’s 41-greats-grandfather. How could any law define a man’s ‘own city’ as the city where his 41-greats-grandfather was born? It's completely ridiculous and yet Christians never question it and take it for granted. Even the movie "Ben-Hur" begins with that story like it fucking happened.

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"
