A book of self-contradictions


We already know that majority of the Bible is plain hypocrisy, madness and self-contradictions. Even though there are mountains of irrefutable evidence to support this claim, orthodox Christians are hardly convinced that they shouldn’t follow the Bible. Now, don’t get the wrong idea about what I am saying. I am not asking you to leave Christianity. I understand that you have the right to be a Christian, but what I am trying to do is make you understand that you are wrong.

Now, I am going to list some more Biblical self-contradictions. I hope you all enjoy this list.

Question number 1: Is having a good reputation wrong?
Proverbs 22: 1: If you have to choose between a good reputation and great wealth, choose a good reputation.
Luke 6: 26: How terrible when all people speak well of you…

Question number 2: Are Christians supposed to worry about providing for family?
Luke 18: 29- 30: “I assure you that anyone who leaves home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the Kingdom of God will receive much more in this present age and eternal life in the age to come.”
Timothy 5: 8: If anyone does not take care of his relatives, especially the members of his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Question number 3- Is it okay to drink wine?
Proverbs 20: 1: Drinking too much makes you loud and foolish. It’s stupid to get drunk.
Deuteronomy 14: 26: Spend it on whatever you want- beef, lamb, wine…

Question number 4- Is it okay to address your father as “Father”?
Matthew 15: 4: Respect your father and mother.
Matthew 23: 9: And you must not call anyone here on earth “Father”, because you have only the one Father in heaven.

Question number 5- Who killed Goliath?
1 Samuel 17: 50: And, so, without a sword, David defeated and killed Goliath with a catapult and a stone!
2 Samuel 21: 19: Elhanan son of Jair from Bethlehem killed Goliath from Gath…

Historical contradictions, Spiritual contradictions, Moral contradictions, the Bible is the book with the highest number of contradictions. I pity those who are still not convinced so. Anyone who still believes in the Bible is either a fool or he is doing so because he is being forced by his parents, or maybe because he works in the church and doesn’t want to lose his job. Thankfully, the number of orthodox Christians is dying which means that people are slowly coming out of the world of stupid delusions.

The stupid story of creation- Part 1
Now, let’s take a look at the first part of the story of creation in Genesis and know how crazy it is.
Genesis 1: 1- 2: In the beginning, when God created the universe, the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the power of God was moving over the water.
If the earth was formless and desolate…… where the hell did this water hover over? And how can something be Formless? Shouldn’t it read: the earth was round, and empty?
Genesis 1: 3: Then God commanded, “Let there be light”- and light appeared.
Okay, wait a minute… If there was no light previously then how did he know that the earth was formless, or empty?
Genesis 1: 4- 5: God was pleased with what he saw. Then he separated the light from the darkness, and he named the light “Day” and the darkness “Night”. Evening passed and morning came- that was the first day.
So, dawn, dusk and afternoon were created much later? Why isn’t it mentioned so, then?
Genesis 1: 6- 8: Then God commanded, “Let there be a dome to divide the water and to keep it in two different places”- and it was done. So God made a dome, and it separated the water under it from the water above it. He named the dome “Sky”. Evening passed and morning came- that was the second day.
Wait, so do you really expect me to believe that there is water above the sky and that’s where all the rain comes from? Laughable!
Genesis 1: 9: Then God commanded, “Let the water below the sky come together in one place, so that the land will appear”- and it was done.
Hmm, so if this is how everything went, then there must have been one island at the beginning? Wonder why the Bible doesn’t explain how this single island became so many continents.
Genesis 1: 10: He named the land “Earth” and the water which had come together he named “Sea”. And God was pleased with what he saw.
Yahweh may be pleased, but I certainly am not pleased at this stupid and childish story of creation. 

This story will be continued in my next article. Look forward to it.

Blessed are the merciful.
