interesting read al right but dont rely on an athesit website, just because its there doesnt make it correct.
another point that would stike me is if all these things are in the bible, all these contradicition why has no1 esle picked up on them? by the sounds of your post they are all still writtian in the bible for all to see

Well if you read the entire thread you'd have known that I have read the bible and go and talk to any serious bible scholar and they'll confirm the contradictions. Sophisticated theologians fully accept the contradictions in the bible, as you said they're plainly there for anybody to see so there's not much use in them denying it, they just claim it doesn't take away from the central message. Cherry picking anyone? And lots and lots of people, regardless of their theistic or atheistic beliefs, have picked up on them and highlighted them. This isn't exactly breaking news but if you're rapped up in Catholic blankets your whole life you're only going to hear what they want you to hear.
And why does it matter if it's on an atheist website or a muslim website or a christian website? This was simply pointing out the obvious.
