We should all be thankful to whomever spends the time to create these beatiful pieces of logic.
posted on March 10, 2010Its so sad how many religious people actually buy the texts and believe its a word of god only to know its really texts written by disillusioned men… Comfort is the only reason they accept this
posted on March 26, 2010It is of vital importance for us to understand that the Bible is a statement, not of theories, but of actual facts; and that things are not true because they are in the Bible, but they are only in the Bible because they are true. (Mrs. Pearsall Smith - Written in 1907)
posted on March 26, 2010If contradictions of “the truth” (bible as an example)do not produce in your mind a healthy nausea, then you are sick, The only truth is doubt; only then we are healthy and our mind has permission to inquire our surroundings without any bias. Be concerned of those who believe that they have “the truth” because their intention is to take the power from you and give it to “god”, that is, their group.

posted on May 18, 2010I’m honestly not sure, but…does it matter that genesis and exodus were supposedly written ~1445 BC and deuteronomy and leviticus were supposedly written ~1405 BC? - Contradiction #213
posted on May 18, 2010c’mon guys…notwithstanding jn 10:30, contradiction #201 still seems like a bit of a reach—a somewhat petty squabble over semantics
posted on May 18, 2010Wow… i was really curious about this and spent about the last hour going through as many of these as i can… and… well i haven’t found any real contradictions… most of these are a reach and can be explained by the differences of the old covenant and the new covenant (ot and nt) and also verses being taken way out of context and misread…

We shoudn’t believe bible to be word of god
posted on November 22, 2009as it is word of men. Whatever we believe should be our own interpretation of what is said.
