ORIGINAL: DarkSteven Tweakabelle, people are not consistent, so even if the Bible HAD been written by a single person, it would have contradictions. It was written by multiple people. It is not entirely consistent. Forgive me for being statistical at this point, but...A rational person in a situation like this would try to get the overall gist of the Bible, tempering the actual words with an understanding of their context. The nutcase zealots pick the outlier statements in it (or in the Quran, book of Mormon, etc.), and ignore the context, in order to justify insanity. I read somewhere that "God kills 371,186 people directly and orders another 1,862,265 people murdered in the Bible".* Is that enough of an "overall gist of the Bible, tempering the actual words with an understanding of their context" for you? Are you saying I selected the wrong murder(s)? Nor can contradictions about issues as important as murder and obeying the Lord be dismissed as "outlier" issues. They are surely central to the message of the Bible, if that text is to have any credibility or relevance. You can read all about it here: http://www.evilbible.com/Murder.htm *www.evilbible.com
