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.
