[Responding to an atheist that pointed out contradictions in the bible]
dont go marching around because you claim to find contradictions that dont hold any proof of real contradictions...
the Bible is the ONLY book in the world, that has been reviewed by professionals, Atheist and religious, and they have all found NO contradictions....

I have found contradictions. Hundreds of them.
"the Bible is the ONLY book in the world, that has been reviewed by professionals, Atheist and religious, and they have all found NO contradictions.... "
*coughBULLSHITcough*
A pail of FAIL.
@ Tom S. Fox:
IM CATHOLIC... WE MADE THE BIBLE
So the Christian God had nothing to do with it, thanks for clearing that up.
the Bible is the ONLY book in the world, that has been reviewed by professionals, Atheist and religious, and they have all found NO contradictions. this this even these
Professionals of what exactly?. And isn't this guy, who is not religious, pointing contradictions?, WTF?
"the Bible is the ONLY book in the world, that has been reviewed by professionals, Atheist and religious, and they have all found NO contradictions."
That is probably the most completely wrong statement I've read in weeks... well, days anyway. I do read a lot of Fundie materials.
"the Bible is the ONLY book in the world, that has been reviewed by professionals, Atheist and religious, and they have all found NO contradictions...."
Citation?
Didn't think so.
Bullshit... Contradicting stories of creation, Contradicting geneologies of Jesus, and that's just scratching the surface... so that makes you a liar and therefore damned to hell... have a nice day XD
It's great that you're catholic. Whatever. Personally, I wouldn't want to align myself with a religion that has been responsible for the murder, torture and persecution of countless people for centuries. And I definitely wouldn't be proud of taking another religion's work and slapping it together with the four "gospels" and a load of bullshit written by that scrawny, unattractive, misogynistic little weasel named Paul.
But that's just me.

Yeah. For example: did Judas hang himself (Mat. 27:5) or fall (Act 1:18)? Is this a contradiction? No. We'll just make up a story out of thin air about him hanging himself, and then the rope broke and he fell. See? Presto! No more contradiction!
"IM CATHOLIC... WE MADE THE BIBLE"
God, we agree on something. People made it, not God.
Oh my god. Guys, I'm a catholic, and when I was taking classes to convert, I learned that Catholics don't even know where the bible came from. They view it as a nice guidebook, but if you take it literally, you turn crazy, like this loon.
This is his reply to being told that examples of contradictions were just given:"im not going to waste my time on ignorant, close minded idiots...
Well and truly pwned.
Actually, I'm considering trying this path of argumentation when/if my master's thesis gets turned down for having internal contradictions; "I wrote the damn thesis, idiot, don't go parading around claiming there are contradictions because the contradictions you point out don't prove the existence of contradictions."
I'm sure that'll put the professors in their place.
/sarcasm
The bible is a book that can be read the way you want it. For example, Book of revelations 8:11 :
I'll ignore the inerrancy arguments, as they've been shot down quite enough already.
Proto-catholics collected the books that were eventually known as the New Testament sometime in the first few centuries after the crucifixion. The Old Testament they just stole, lock, stock and barrel, from the Jews. Besides, the list of canonical books in the Bible, including the Old Testament, wasn't really decided until the Council of Trent, in April 1546. In other words, Catholics didn't make the whole Bible, just a little more than a fifth of it.
@ You: Cool! I also use this same reading and interpretation, but to counter bible-thumpers' arguments about the imminence of the Apocalypse: wormwood falls from the heavens in chapter 8, and it took 2000 years to get there. Revelation has 22 chapters. Therefore, if you take your Bible literally...
I know that wikipedia has its problems as a reliable resource, but one would infer from an article in it that the NT canon wasn't assembled in its modern form until ~400 years after the birth of Jebus (article on Athanasius)...so it might be argued that proto-catholics not only made the bible, but they kind of made up the bible as a collection of scripture. A number of scriptures were rejected from the canon because they seemed inconsistent with the dogma that Athanasius espoused. Some of the very serious fights in the early church seem hilarious--for example, are Gob the father and his boy Jebus made out of the same "substance"? Insane.
He points out that no one other than Catholics have the authority to find contradictions in the bible, but then uses "Professional Atheists" finding no contradictions as proof that there are no contradictions?
That's not even circular logic, that's pure non sequitur. By his own logic, atheists finding no contradictions wouldn't be proof of anything, since they would be incapable of seeing the contradictions whether they were there or not. So he even fails at his own logic.
Of course, there are *plenty* of contradictions in the Bible.
Hillarious! Good thing I hadn't started drinking my tea yet, or the screen would have been drenched in it now.
Please learn a bit of grammar and spelling. At least the makers of the Bible knew a bit of those.
The Bible is the only book reviewed by professionals? Professionals of what? Book editing? History revision? Latin grammar? Lying?
"There are no contradictions in the Bible!"
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
