...you can't prove it wrong. That doesn't mean I should follow it. It's up to you to prove it right. Be a Christian all you want, I couldn't care less. Just don't bug me about it, and for crying out loud, leave your religion out of lawmaking.
It's pretty easy. The bible contradicts itself over and over. There's also things like indisputable fossil evidence that things evolved which the bible oposes. They also prove that the earth is 4 billion years old, not 6,000 or whatever christians believe
The people that wrote it were drunk all the time, among other things. It's true, people drank beer all the time because water wasn't safe. They were probably high, too.
Well, that's all I ever get from reading it.
Ooh, y'know what this reminds me of? In a Spanish test I had last week, one of the questions was whether or not Jesus's opinion on people towers was positive or negative

A lot of Christian denominations - most of them - consider a lot of the bible to be allegorical, metaphorical, and filled with errors due to hearsay and translation. I'm an atheist (i.e. I don't believe in any god(s)), but just because some of the bible is incorrect doesn't mean Christianity is "wrong".
The Bible does not contradict itself. People always say this but never elaborate. however, it is misinterpreted often
PSA 145:9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
JER 13:14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
One thing that almost completely proves Christianity wrong is this statement, Occam's Razor, which states: "Nothing more should be presumed to exist beyond what is absolutely necessary." Why should we be lead to believe in Jesus Christ and God when there are no cold, hard facts to prove that they exist, or that they should even be presumed to exist? The agnostic belief that we cannot prove that there is god or no god is also trumped by this logical statement.
Believing in God doesn't make you a Christian, dear, believing in the Bible does.
Oh, I'm sorry. Let's just condescend me and treat me like an idiot despite the fact that I've taken various university papers on philosophy and religion. Being a Christian means you believe Christ = son of God. That's it. It doesn't need to involve the bible. Denominations differ, "dear".
Christianity still propsers because it has been modified to the point where it can not be proved wrong. Do you seriously think the majority of Christians believe the bible is wholly true? It's the opposite. Really now, don't board the irrational-train just because there's no Christian to argue with you.
And Kitmitsu, from a Google search (hey, I'm an atheist, I don't have to defend a religion when I don't have one), there's an explanation for that contradiction. The two quotes are spread between the old and new testament. The new testament states that (basically) the laws from the old testament are revoked and that God is now lovey-dovey (or something).

Curse those misinterpreters.
A child can take random verses from different chapters out of context. I could do the same thing to any book,movie,speech etc. Try reading the chapters those versus came from and you might learn ya sumthin

First of all, just because you've gone to university doesn't mean you're clever so it's pretty much pointless arguing that one. Not saying you're stupid, just saying using that to prove intelligence doesn't work.
Secondly, I believe that if a religious person of any faith doesn't take the book written by THEIR GOD word for word, then they are fakes who can't be arsed to follow a set of rules set by something they apparently worship.
If a Christian for example, doesn't take the bible and follow it to the letter, the they should go straight to hell just like us Atheists. That's why pieces of the bible keep getting deleted or "modernised" as they like to call it.
So, anyone got any idea's on how Christians aren't made to follow every word and how a humans are apparently allowed to change the words of a book set by a GOD just to make it modern?
