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.

Biblical justice

Today, we know that our laws are flawed. But, compared to the Biblical laws, they are hundred times better. In this article, we will look at how the Bible says justice should be done. I will begin with the Ten Commandments.

Commandment 1 (Exodus 20: 3) says- Worship no god but me.

Christians will proudly cite this commandment in front of polytheists, but they will try to hide the punishment that the Bible commands on those who worship other gods. Take a look-

Deuteronomy 17: 2- 5: Suppose you hear that in one of your towns some man or woman has sinned against the Lord and broken his covenant by worshipping and serving other gods or the sun or the moon or the stars, contrary to the Lord’s command. If you hear such a report, then investigate it thoroughly. If it is true that this evil thing happened in Israel, then take that person outside the town and stone him to death.

A severe punishment for a small crime, don’t you think so? Now, let’s continue to the other commandments.

Commandment 2 (Exodus 20: 4) says- Do not make for yourselves images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth.

Now, let us take a look at the punishment for breaking this commandment.

Deuteronomy 27: 15: God’s curse on anyone who makes an idol of stone, wood or metal and secretly worships it; the Lord hates idolatry.

Commandment 3 (Exodus 20: 7) says- Do not use my name for evil purposes, for I, the Lord your God, will punish anyone who misuses my name.

I am sure the punishment for breaking this commandment will be shocking for anyone, especially for people who always believed in the Ten Commandments.

Leviticus 24: 16: Any Israelite or any foreigner who curses the Lord shall be stoned to death by the whole community.

Commandment 4 (Exodus 20: 8) says- Observe the Sabbath and keep it holy.

And, those who don’t…

Exodus 31: 15: Whoever does any work on the Sabbath is to be put to death.

Commandment 5 (Exodus 20: 12) says- Respect your father and mother, so that you may live a long time in the land I am giving you.

Isn’t respecting one’s parents a matter of common sense?

Exodus 20: 17: Whoever curses his father or his mother is to be put to death. 

Commandment 6 (Exodus 20: 13) says- Do not commit murder.

Murder is the worst kind of crime. I personally believe that some murderers may be forgiven, but anyway, let’s take a look at what the Bible commands.

Exodus 21: 12: Whoever hits a man and kills him is to be put to death.

Commandment 7 (Exodus 20: 14) says- Do not commit adultery.

I believe sexual behavior is not a part of religion, but it is a matter of social common sense. But the Bible’s punishment is unbelievable as usual.

Deuteronomy 22: 22: If a man is caught having intercourse with another man’s wife, both of them are to be put to death. In this way you will get rid of this evil.

Commandment 8 (Exodus 20: 15) says -Do not steal.

The punishment for stealing may not be death, but the killing of a thief has been approved.

Exodus 22: 4: If a thief is caught breaking into a house at night and is killed, the one who killed him is not guilty of murder.

Commandment 9 (Exodus 20: 16) says- Do not bear false witness.

Even disobeying this commandment requires a terrible punishment.

Proverbs 19: 9: No one who tells lies in court can escape punishment; he is doomed.

Commandment 10 (Exodus 20: 17) says- Do not desire another man’s house; do not desire his wife, his slaves, his cattle, his donkeys, or anything else that he owns.

This commandment is just the same as Commandment 7 and Commandment 8 combined. So, the punishment remains the same. Let me give another example though.

Exodus 22: 1: If a man steals a cow or a sheep and kills it or sells it, he must pay five cows for one cow and four sheep for one sheep.

So, now you know the truth about the Ten Commandments, don’t you? Orthodox Christians talk about love, compassion and mercy, but not even a single commandment does. 

So, if you are an orthodox Christian, next time you think you are going to try to force those commandments down someone’s throat, think again. If you are not a Christian, then if some hypocritical orthodox Christian tries to force the Ten Commandments on you, simply link him/her to this page. Now, let’s look at some more Biblical laws that may be offensive to us, but are “laws of God” for orthodox Christians.

Is it okay for Christians to sell their daughters as slaves?

Yes, because Yahweh himself says so. All they need to do is follow some “rules”.

Exodus 21: 7- 8: If a man sells his daughter as a slave, she is not to be set free, as male slaves are. If she is sold to someone who intends to make her his wife, but he doesn’t like her, then she is to be sold back to her father; her master cannot sell her to foreigners, because he has treated her unfairly.

If someone kills his slave, what should be done?

Exodus 21: 20: If a man takes a stick and beats his slave, whether male or female, and the slave dies on the spot, the man is to be punished. But, if the slave does not die for a day or two, the master is not to be punished. The loss of his property is punishment enough.

Wow, Yahweh himself has declared that slaves are nothing more than property. Also, there seems to be no logic in this law. If the slave doesn’t die immediately, the man is not to be punished. Why? In fact, the man should be punished more because he made the slave die a slow death.

Is it okay for Christians to kill their relatives if they worship a different god?

Deuteronomy 13: 6- 10 justifies the killing of anyone, even relatives who worships any other god that Yahweh.

After marriage, if a girl is not found to be a virgin, what should be done?

Deuteronomy 22: 13-21 says that she should be stoned to death. What a pity! Also, it is interesting to note that the same doesn’t apply for a man.

Is it okay for Christians to offer their daughters as a sacrifice to their god?

Judges 11: 29- 40 says that Yahweh accepted Jephthah’s daughter as a sacrifice. Even though Yahweh didn’t command the sacrifice, neither did he disapprove, nor did he show any pity for the poor girl.

What a cruel and malevolent god Yahweh is. Yet, orthodox Christians think of him as loving and compassionate and even force others to worship such a monstrous god. In today’s world, I believe that anyone who forces others to adopt a different religion should be punished by the law.

Blessed are the merciful.

Why the Bible is a crazy book?

Stupid cattle-sacrificing primitives of ancient times wrote lots of nonsense which is contained in the book known as the Bible. Yet, even educated people of modern times, who even know how to operate computers, believe such nonsense. What’s pathetic is that they claim such nonsense to come from, or at least, inspired by God. I don’t understand why they like the Bible and support it so much. Maybe just because they are paid to do so. Deep inside, maybe they know that the majority of the Bible is plain garbage. If that’s not the case, all I can say is that there is nothing worse than blind faith.

Let us take a look more self-contradictions in the Bible.

Question number 1: Did Jesus tell his disciples everything?

John 15: 15: …I have told you everything I heard from my Father.

John 16: 12: I have much more to tell you but now it would be too much for you to bear.

Question number 2: Is it only God who can perform miracles?

Psalms 136: 4: He alone performs great miracles…

2 Thessalonians 2: 9: The Wicked One will come with the power of Satan and perform all kinds of false miracles and wonders…

Question number 3: Does God approve slavery?

Luke 4: 18: He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind…

Ephesians 6: 5: Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling; and do it with a sincere heart, as though you were serving Christ.

Question number 4: Does God approve animal sacrifice?

Psalms 40: 6: You do not want sacrifices and offerings; you do not want animals burnt whole on the altar or for sacrifices to take away sins.

Genesis 4: 4: Then Abel brought the first lamb born to one of his sheep, killed it, and gave the best parts as an offering. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering…

Question number 5: Does God approve human sacrifice?

2 Kings 21: 6: He sacrificed his son as a burnt offering. He practiced divination and magic and consulted fortune-tellers and mediums. He sinned greatly against the Lord and stirred his anger.

Genesis 22: 2: “Take your son,” God said, “your only son, Isaac, whom you love so much, and go to the land of Moriah. There on a mountain I will show you, offer him as a sacrifice to me.”

Question number6: Can a Christian call someone a fool?

Matthew 5: 22: Whoever calls his brother a worthless fool will be in danger of going to the fire of hell.

Matthew 23: 17: Blind fools!

Question number 7: Is it good to be happy?

Proverbs 17: 22: Being cheerful keeps you healthy. It is slow death to be gloomy all the time.

Luke 6: 25: How terrible for you who laugh now; you will mourn and weep!

Question number 8: Can hard work make us rich?

Proverbs 10: 22: It is the Lord’s blessing that makes you wealthy. Hard work can make you no richer.

Proverbs 10: 4: Being lazy will make you poor, but hard work will make you rich.

Question number 9: Can women be church leaders?

Romans 16: 1: I recommend you to our sister Phoebe, who serves the church at Cenchreae.

1 Corinthians 14: 25: It is a disgraceful thing for a woman to speak in church.

Question number 10: Is the Christian God merciful?

Exodus 34: 6: I, the Lord, am a God who is full of compassion and pity, who is not easily angered and who shows great love and faithfulness.

Lamentations 2: 2: The Lord destroyed without mercy every village in Judah and tore down the forts that defended the land.

The above self-contradictions are very embarrassing for those who claim the Bible to be infallible.  To prove that the Bible is not infallible, I need to point out only one self-contradiction. But, in my articles, I have pointed out too many of them for orthodox Christians to count. One or two of them may be countered, but I dare say that no one, not even the greatest Christian scholar can counter all the self-contradictions I mentioned, because they ARE self-contradictions. Arguing with me won’t change that fact.

You must surely be chuckling after reading the above list of self-contradictions.             Unless you’re an orthodox Christian, that is.

Most orthodox Christians are illogical and stupid. That’s why majority of the world’s greatest philosophers were freethinkers, deists or atheists. Let’s see what some of the world’s greatest men said about Christianity.

Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd and bloody religion that has ever infected the world. –Voltaire (French writer)

 

I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in this world. –Bertrand Russell (English philosopher and mathematician.)

I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. You Christians are so unlike your Christ. –Mahatma Gandhi (Indian freedom fighter and spiritual leader)

Muslims believe that whatever is written in the Koran alone is true. Christians too believe that truth is contained in the Bible only. They believe that nobody, howsoever noble and virtuous he may be, can ever be redeemed if he does not believe in Jesus Christ. They have provided only one door to the house of the Lord- the door of Jesus! People provide a number of doors and windows to their houses, but how strange it is that they provide only one door to God’s house. –Vinoba (Indian freedom fighter and spiritual leader.)

If Christ were here now, there is one thing he would not be- a Christian. –Mark Twain (American writer.)

It is a fact that anyone who has a sense of logic or justice will reject orthodox Christianity. Jesus was a rebel in his days. If he was alive today, he would still be a rebel. Maybe he would also cry because though he fought against hypocrisy, and in the process got crucified, in his name, today hypocrisy has increased a lot more than there was in the time of Jesus.

Orthodox Christians believe that Jesus Christ will come once again to remove all evil from Earth. If he will come, then the evil of the orthodox Christians is the very evil Jesus will come to put an end to.

Blessed are the merciful.

Blind faith

There are many ex-Christians who once used to defend their religion like it was the best in the world, like as if it really was a way to heaven, but once they were aware of the truth in their religion, they became atheists and started preaching against Christianity. We people should use our own conscience to decide what is right and what is wrong. It is stupid to use a book like the Bible, the Koran, or the Vedas, written years ago, to justify what we do today. Yet, Muslim and Christian fanatics find this too hard to understand. They don’t know how to be logical and practical. If while walking across the street, a man comes across a girl who is being raped by someone, it is his duty to go and immediately help her. But, an orthodox Christian is going to open the Bible and see what he is supposed to do. An orthodox Muslim will open the Koran and a mad Muslim fanatic is probably going to try to rape the girl himself.

The Bible, the Koran and the Vedas are the very books of the three main leading religions of the world. But, these three books are very inconsistent with modern days. None of these three books get along with science. Some Christians have decided to boycott the Bible and accept the Gospel of the Holy Twelve as their holy book. Many Hindus today ignore the Vedas and believe in the Bhagavad Gita. It’s because the Gospel of the Holy Twelve and the Bhagavad Gita are consistent even with today’s world. 

It is really stupid to believe in four Gospels because only one can be true. That’s why either you choose one from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, or you choose the Gospel of the Holy Twelve. It is better to do the latter. Many meat-eating gluttons of ancient times corrupted the teachings of Jesus and removed the teachings on animal rights. Yet, the Gospel has been recovered and thankfully, many people are being guided into the true path of Christianity. I am going to discuss why none of the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John is reliable.

As a religious scripture, the Bhagavad Gita is truly unmatched. Even though it is originally a Hindu scripture, today people have realized that it is a universal guide to humanity. Even Christians like Albert Schweitzer and atheists like Albert Einstein gave the Bhagavad Gita a lot of praise. The Bible is limited to orthodox Christians, the Vedas are limited to orthodox Hindus, and the Koran is limited to orthodox Muslims. But the Bhagavad Gita is a universal guide, even for atheists. It simply doesn’t teach about morality. It teaches about spirituality which naturally improves the morality of the people.

Like I said before, we should use our conscience to decide what is right and what is wrong. If we depend on so-called “holy” books like the Bible, we will be stuck in a world of questions. People whose conscience is weak should also read the Bhagavad Gita which is a true spiritual guide. It will help them improve their conscience, thus, improving their morality. 

Why aren’t the four Gospels reliable?

If we hear four different stories about the same person, we would know that all four of the stories can’t be true. Only one of them or none of them is true. It is true that there are some similarities in the four Gospels. But there are a lot more things that don’t get along in the four Gospels. Like only two of them mention the virgin birth. If the Bible really is a word of God, why don’t we have absolute information about the story of Jesus? 

Why would God narrate four different stories about the same Jesus? Laughable, isn’t it? Many historians say that the Gospel of the Holy Twelve was the long lost original Gospel of Jesus. As far as I know, there aren’t any ridiculous passages in the Gospel of the Holy Twelve. Let’s take a look at one of the stupid stories in the Gospel of Matthew.

Matthew 21: 18- 22 describes Jesus cursing an innocent fig tree just because it couldn’t bear him fruit. Is it really the sign of a prophet or a man of God? Three important points should be remembered. 

1. The fig tree had no fruits, so how could it feed Jesus? 

2. Jesus did so many miracles, so instead of killing it, why didn’t he just make the fig tree bear fruit?

3. A wise prophet would never hurt someone just for not getting food from them. But, Jesus is shown to kill the plant. 

So, this proves that the Gospel of Matthew is not only unreliable but it has made Jesus look like a selfish and greedy person. So, we shouldn’t take these four Gospels to be historically true, but we should instead read the Gospel of Holy Twelve. Many passages and stories in the Bible is nothing more than mere babbling. Anyone who takes the whole Bible to be literally true is obviously doing so by blind faith.

More self-contradictions in the Bible

Let’s take a look at some more self-contradictions in the Bible, which will make non-Christians laugh and embarrass orthodox Christian fanatics. Such contradictions have proven that the Bible is flawed and the four Gospels aren’t historically reliable. 

Question number 1: Did Joseph, Mary and Jesus go to Egypt after Jesus was born?

Matthew 2: 14: Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and left during the night for Egypt, where he stayed until Herod died. 

Luke 2: 39: When Joseph and Mary had finished doing all that was required by the law of the Lord, they returned to their hometown of Nazareth in Galilee.

Question number 2: After the Resurrection, where did Jesus appear to the eleven disciples?

Matthew 28: 16- 17: The eleven disciples went to the hill in Galilee where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshipped him, even though some of them doubted.

Mark 16: 14: Last of all, Jesus appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating.

Question number 3: Does the Bible teach us how to pray?

Matthew 6: 9: This is how you should pray: …

Romans 8: 26: For we do not know how we ought to pray…

Question number 4: Is wealth a sign of righteousness or is it a sign of sin?

Proverbs 15: 6: Righteous men keep their wealth, but wicked men lose theirs when hard times come.

James 5: 1- 3: And now you rich people, listen to me! Weep and wail over the miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches have rotted away, and your clothes have been eaten by moths. Your gold and silver are covered with rust, and this rust will be a witness against you and will eat up your flesh like fire. You have piled up riches in these last days.

Question number 5: How many blind men did Jesus heal while returning from Jericho?

Matthew 20: 29- 30: As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd was following. Two blind men who were sitting by the road heard that Jesus was passing by, so they began to shout, “Son of David! Take pity on us, sir!”

Mark 10: 46- 47: They came to Jericho, and as Jesus was leaving with his disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, son of Timaeus was sitting by the road. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus! Son of David! Take pity on me!”

As we can see, there are hundreds of self-contradictions in the Bible. So, orthodox Christians should work for the welfare of this planet instead of arguing about whether the Bible is “holy” or not. Going to the church, believing in Jesus and accepting the Bible as God’s word doesn’t make you a Christian. To be a Christian, you have to be to loving, kind and compassionate towards all creatures of God like Christ was.

Blessed are the merciful.

Stupid delusions

Muslim terrorists believe that crashing a helicopter into a huge building to kill innocent people in the name of their religion is an act worthy of rewards after death. They believe that after death, they will go to heaven to be greeted by beautiful virgins and will sit on their thrones for eternity.

We people can find no logic in those beliefs. We laugh at such ideas. But Muslim terrorists are not the only people who are blinded by such stupid delusions. Orthodox Christians are just the same. They believe that they can sin as much as they want, and after that, all they need to do is to “believe” in Jesus, and all their sins will be forgiven and they will go to heaven for eternity. Personally, I believe that in today’s world of logic and science, people who spread such madness should be punished by the law. 

List of Stupid Delusions

Orthodox Christians believe in Heaven and Hell. Orthodox Christians believe that sinners will go to hell while the “true” Christians will go to heaven. It is ridiculous that they believe sinners will be punished by the Devil. Why would the Devil punish sinners when he is the one who supposedly misguided them? The Devil would reward them, instead, for following in his footsteps.

Orthodox Christians believe that the Earth is flat and stationary because the Bible says so in Psalms 93: 1, 96: 10, or 104: 5. They don’t believe in scientific theories and believe whatever the Bible says. There is also no use arguing with such people.

Orthodox Christians believe that the Bible is really God’s word. They believe every word in the Bible to be absolute. There are uncountable self-contradictions and stupid passages in the Bible. Yet, they ignore those passages and continue claiming the Bible to be a word of God. Funny thing is that the “Song of Solomon” which is nothing more than erotic love poetry is included in the so-called “holy” Bible. Some Christians try to defend themselves by saying that the poem is describing the relationship between them and God. But, that’s ridiculous. How can the relationship between two sexual partners be compared to the relationship between God and his devotees? By including the “Song of Solomon” in the Bible, Christians have made a mockery of God’s love.

Orthodox Christians believe that if a girl in ancient Israel didn’t scream while she was raped, she deserved death. (Deuteronomy 22: 24)

Orthodox Christians believe that there is nothing wrong with genocides if they are supposedly commanded by their god.

This list can go on and on, but I don’t feel like adding anything more.

Why isn’t the Christian god fit for worship?

The Bible itself describes God as wrathful who gets easily annoyed when people don’t worship him. Let’s see some examples:

Nahum 1: 2: The Lord God tolerates no rivals; he punishes those who oppose him. In his anger he pays them back.

Deuteronomy 6: 15: If you worship other gods, the Lord’s anger will come against you like fire and will destroy you completely…

Wow, the Lord’s anger will come to harm me in the form of fire if I do something like worshipping other gods. It doesn’t sound loving or compassionate, does it?

Even many Christians who haven’t read the Bible get shocked when they come across such passages. They weren’t aware that they were worshipping such a malevolent God.

Christians describe their God to be loving and compassionate. It contradicts their claim that says not believing in Jesus is hell-deserving. If a God, for not believing in his son, would send you to hell for eternity, would you call him kind and compassionate?

So, my point is that either the Christian god is a demon, or the Bible is making a mockery of him. I think it is probably the latter one.

That is why you should remember that you cannot be a follower of both Jesus and the Bible.

Blessed are the merciful.
