Well now it looks like you can actually read. The original snake oil salesmen were the ones who made up the first religions, the one with the 7 days creation story and then taken over by Judaism and then by Christians, third hand tales as if it were their own.
That was salesmen, plural. There was no single one who started it all, the religion thing has b ...[text shortened]... give us an eternal home.
That is just weak minded thinking that is killing the human race.

I think it incredible in this day and age grown up people some with major educations can still blindly following the same old brainwashing going on for 2 thousand years and more and a lot of the bible not even original material and a lot of it contradicting itself.

How can you live with a religion with so many contradictions, which clearly points to the whole thing being made up by men?
Originally posted by sonhouseWhat are all these contradictions that you think you see? I don't see any contradictions, except the contradictions in the flawed understanding of some people. Maybe, that flawed understanding could also be your problem.

Do you answer a fool?Is this a contradiction? Well, yes, technically it is. But it's so true.
PRO 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
PRO 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

Is it folly to be wise or not?I'm not sure this one should be on the list either. Where is the contradiction here?
PRO 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
ECC 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
1CO 1:19: "For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."
Originally posted by sonhouseThere are ways to resolve these apparent contradictions. But how about picking out a couple that you consider very important. I will see how I can resolve them for you.

MAT 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
MAT 28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
MAT 28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
MAT 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
MAR 16:5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
LUK 24:4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
JOH 20:12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

Originally posted by RJHindsIt doesn't apparently matter how many contradictions there are in the bible, you and billions of other religious people are so profoundly profoundly brainwashed as to be able to rationalize ANYTHING contradictory in your man made religions. If a real god had really inspired those writers it would have made SURE there were no contradictions. Of course you are too profoundly brainwashed to even consider those implications.

Another thing that is so pathetic about your religion and others: miracles.
A dude get sick, gets well, and it's a miracle. Meanwhile thousands of little girls die of vaginal cancer. Exactly where was the miracles there?
Originally posted by sonhouseIf thousands of little girls die of vaginal cancer, there is no miracle there, because that is what is expected. If one were to survive, after having been prayed for, then that might be called a miracle.
