The entire biblical cannon is one blatant contradiction after another.
You can't use the biblical fables to prove anything other than the fact that they are grossly inconsistent with their own claims.
The bible cannot be the word of any God. But that's beside the point.
The point is that even these false fables cannot be used to support the Christian hatred, even as fables.
Even as fables they clearly have Jesus proclaiming that he will forgive even people who mock him and nail him to a pole.
So it really doesn't matter what you think you can prove. You're a liar.
The only way that you can support a hateful Jesus is to spit in the face of the words attributed to Jesus even in these fables.
Whether they are true or false is irrelevant. The Jesus character in these fables does not support Christian hatred and bigotry.
So even as a fairytale it still doesn't support Christian hatred.
Christians are the creators of hatred, and Jesus cannot be used to support their hateful distortion of this religion.
Did I ever say Jesus was hateful? That appears to be the opposite of what I said. Jesus said help the poor, give to God, and spread the word. He said many other things too. None of them have ever thought to be bad advice by any athiest. They may think its too strict but that's beside the point. There are no contradictions to any biblical accounts. People may say there are but if you look and I mean really look, you will understand why it says what it says. The Jews would not accept any of the old testament books if they were inconsistent. The difference between now and then is that many people have knowingly taken scripture out of context and out of culture and posted it on the web cuz they can. And people believe this because they don't want to look further into it, they just want to throw something at Christians. Don't be like them. Be the better person and learn about it.
The second thing is I find it convenient that you use the bible only to prove your point but when your proven wrong your backup is "well the bible is full of contradictions so that doesn't count" but it counts whenever you score a point that way. If that's how it is then I refuse to partake. I will not engage in conversation that you change your position whenever it's convenient for you.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
