The bible has stood for centuries. People spend more time reading it, than any other work. People will spend years getting degrees on it's study. A degree for understanding ONE WORK.
It is under CONSTANT sctrutiny from people who a highly critical. Critical of errant translations, misinterpretations and the like.
For you to take the word of an apostate - when the entire list of his has been answered, when bogus elements have been shown for what they are (such as his "problem" with the womans inequality issue, and his refusal to respond to requests to clarify his problem, as no-one can see what the problem is) - is quite out of character for the openminded searcher I took you for.
It's not a matter of "opinion" there are facts. The FACT is the bible is CONSISTENT. The fact is the bible crossreferences itself so comprehensively, that when a "copyists error" occurs, where a single stroke is not adequately drawn (like confusing our 1 with a 7) in one record of a Kings life, there is another record in another biblical book to clarify it.
There are four gospels for a reason. They all show something NEW. A different slant on the same picture. In this way the total picture is seen. Much like you would read four journalistic accounts from different press to gain a fuller picture.

Religion is a matter of Faith, not fact. The fact is I think the Bible is inconsistent and somewhat contradictory. If you would like to discuss this further make a new thread. It is very rude too disrespect a moderator.
But if you do and you go on with your elitist claims that I dont know that I'm talking about because I dont worship the bible, go ahead, but your only making yourself look bad.
