Reason for asking: I've been told by thoughtful atheists that looking for logical contradictions in Christian beliefs, or within the pages of the Bible is a waste of time. The explanation given is that there are much better reasons to give up on being Christian. I'm just wondering what the better reasons are so I can try them on and see how they fit.
For me personally I see a contradiction between what gets taught in any church today and what the history of the time has to say for itself. Even the Bible itself disagrees with e.g. Matthew/John being the ones who wrote their Gospels (they're in 3rd person).
After the many things that just didn't add up I got to a point where I had to be honest with myself and accept it for what it was... And personally it was anything but the story of the Son of God coming to save the world from what HE started.
