Why is contradiction a problem? I have many contradictory attributes. You probably do to. God can't? There were once, btw, christians who thought that the god of the NT was not the same god as the god of the OT, that NT god was here to save us from OT god. "Jesus" -different- teachings are those which contain thought crimes, hell, and vicarious redemption. These three are the least moral teachings in the bible, so far as I'm concerned. Different, but not better.
(an atheist can believe in or hold to any moral truth, being an atheist has nothing to do with moral truths, the only sort of truths one cannot hold and simultaneously be an atheist are those "truths" which stem from a god)
