Thinking

The bible is full of contradictions, but that's beside the point: the verse you quoted is simply incorrect, by itself, without having to refer to another verse. It stands alone, as an entirely wrong island.

KoG, i'm curious again, obviously english isn't your mother tongue, which country are you from? It's either that or you are only a little bit older than your picture would suggest.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Or as the great philosopher Lisa Simpson once said: “What's the point in studying if the answer to every question is “God“?“
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Please point one out. If you can, you win a prize.

If you can't, quit deflecting.

A desperate attempt to swear he has more than nothing.

Really ? And just how many antibiotics did Jebus reveal, and please link us to where the Hebrew war god, (Yahweh Sabaoth) explained how to cure sick children, and perform heart surgery. Take your time.
I prefer quotes from Harry Potter, as that is more authoritative. Doing Babble quotes from ancient desert dwellers just demonstrates how poor your scope of reading really is.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn
