The scriptures do not call for the killing of children, not in the way your thinking.


Oh wrong again, G-C.

“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Now we know where the muslims got it from!

Wouldn't it be great if all the parent taught their kids to be responsible for their actions, let them go to jail and get punished rather than cover up their crimes?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

We've been over this before Min and you would not listen then and I know you would not now so I'm not going to waste my time with you.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

1 + 1 does not equal 3, G-C.

When the plain text fucks you up you invent alternate scenarios. Your kind always does that. I just want you to know that I am on to you.


YOUR BIBLE IS BULLSHIT.

Matthew 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

What point are you attempting or are you.

He's doing a good job of showing another glaring error between the gospel according to G-C and the shit that is in the other 4.

RE: What is your Favorite Religious Contradiction?
Thanks, Minimalist, that was my intention. When a declared Christian goes diametrically against a clear and unambiguous statement attributed to Jesus, is that not a religious contradiction? I intended it to illustrate my long-held opinion that few Christians have a clear idea of what they believe.
Mind you, I was indeed off-topic in that we were asked for our favourite contradictions.

This contradiction refers to what was found at the tomb on resurrection morning.

After the Sabbath, and towards dawn on the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to visit the sepulchre. Matthew 28:1

When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices with which to go and anoint him. Mark 16:1

The women were Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. And the other women with them also told the apostles, Luke 24:10

It was very early on the first day of the week and still dark, when Mary of Magdala came to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the tomb John 20:1

Who actually discovered the empty tomb? As you can see all 4 gospels disagree as to who did.

My favourite religious contradiction is the two genesis creation stories. I got that info from the SAB: http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/accounts.html

RE: What is your Favorite Religious Contradiction?
My other favorite contradiction is when they pick & choose different parts of the bible to follow and others to discard. Jesus was very explicit about not accumulating wealth when there were poor people to be helped, but just about every Christian I know is concerned with getting as rich as possible. Not only that, they tend to embrace the Republican ideal of, "screw the poor, if they weren't lazy bums they'd be rich like us."

Then they say that homosexuality is evil because it says so in Leviticus, but then they don't follow any of the other OT laws because Jesus said they don't have to. And then they claim that everyone should follow the ten commandments, which are in the Old Testament.

Ah, but don't you see? There's no contradiction, the verses are just expanding on each other. Or at least this is what Christians claim.

It's like if I wrote a sentence saying, "Bob, Sue, and Fred went to the store." And then later I wrote it again saying, "Bob, Mary, John, and Joe went to the store" and claiming that they're not contradictory because actually, Bob, Sue, Fred, Mary, John, and Joe all went to the store. If they're not contradictory, then why not have the same account in both passages of who exactly it was who went? It's just another dishonest tactic used to try to disprove any contradictions in the bible.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
