Roughly one for every schism !!!

Praise Jesus !!!!!

I stumbled across one once that really bothered me. The NT verse was talking about Judas and the pieces of silver and referenced the foretelling of the event back to Jeremiah. However, the event is foretold in the book of Zechariah.

I took my problem to some smart people and asked, "What gives". Finally, I found someone who knew some history and he said, "The bible in the first century was arranged by scrolls and not books. The scroll of Jeremiah contains the book of Zechariah." Problem solved!

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.'

Quote:Why is the Bible so poorly written?


Quote:Millions of evangelicals and other Christian fundamentalists believe that the Bible was dictated by God to men who acted essentially as human transcriptionists. If that were the case, one would have to conclude that God is a terrible writer. Many passages in the Bible would get kicked back by any competent editor or writing professor, kicked back with a lot of red ink—often more red than black.

I was raised fundamentalist. 
They believe that every single word in the Bible was written by god.  "Perfect to every jot and tiddle" -referencing Hebrew diacritical marks - is the term they used.
If you find a contradiction, it's simply because our tiny human brains are incapable of truly understanding god.  God will explain when we get to heaven.
I wish that the fundamentalists would actually read and consider such articles, and look over lists of contradictions, but they will not.  They are terrified that if they
allow any doubt to creep into their thinking that they will go straight to hell.      Dodgy

There's no point in speaking to fundies.  Dumbest fucks on the face of the earth.  Right up there with those who think that 1 and 2 Timothy are not forgeries!

Well get back those smart folk and ask them how he died, did he hang himself or did his belly bust open in a field.

A perfect god wouldn't use a human language to begin with. Think of The Machine instructions in Carl Sagan's book Contact.

I'm reminded about an allegory about comparing squares with circles, I think it was from Dan Barker, paraphrasing, what if a square in the past formed to be a a circle, it was a square, but over time became a square; that way, a square is a circle [/religious logic]

It's more a case of they're so beset by doubt they're afraid of reading anything lest it confirms those doubts.

And they'd be right.

Really Dude, I just brought it down to a mere 63,776!
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".

I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9

I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!

When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!

I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
