I like those contradiction websites. I like them, because most of try way too hard to make contradictions where there are not any (they seem to want to make a large impressive number, rather than a strong case).
You see, I grew up in city X, actually my home for 17 years was in the countryside, technically in a small township, but I refer to home, the place where I grew up as the nearest city anyone not familiar with the area might recognize. I then moved to city Y, where I went to college. This was home for a while. After that I was recruited by a company, and they moved me to another state, another city Z where this was home for a few years. Then wanting to move back closer to family I moved back, this time to a larger city about an hour's drive from where I grew up. I rented a duplex by myself, for a short time, my brother lived with me in this duplex, and a while later, I moved to a suburb of this city, and rented a house with some friends. From there I was hired where I am now. For a couple of months, I stayed at my parents home (although someone who mostly knew me, may have said they where going to my house when visiting; also note, that they had moved, and this is not the home where I grew up). I rented a house for a few years, and this was home for that time. Finally I bought the house, that I am living in now. I now have two places I refer to as home, near city X where I grew up (I may refer to the actual house, the nearby city, or the region and the larger city; which I had also lived in); and the house I eventually bought.
So this is easy for me I am by no means rich, yet I have had multiple homes throughout my life. And someone would not be incorrect to refer to the place I was staying at any given time as my house, if they where coming to visit (even if it where technically someone else's house). So I like those Bible contradiction websites; because they often rather than trying to make a strong case, try to make a large number of cases. For a thinking person it is easy to see, how they are not contradictory or all that difficult at all.
