another account he went inside the tombe. a nother account at no point when she got ther or affter did she go in the tomb . so unless you would be saying one ov is lieing you can not aggre with both as there do not add up .. i cn give you list on this..if this was a police case most of um would had been aresse for falls tements. nother example paul hears a voce on the way to dmasak .. one says there all heard it the other noeone heard it.. you can not hve both as both go gesent eachother

@bigjim10011 'there would be one perfect version and he'd burn all the rest' Says who? 'it's not straight from god' Wouldn't you have to fully understand the nature of God to make that claim? 'Christians have been brain washed' You must know a lot of people. It seems that your claims assume omniscience, on your part. Think about it.

there are a lot of mistakes in the bible like repeating verses and conflicting testomonies. i'm sure god doesn't stutter and isn't conflicting so these are mistakes. fact is, men wrote the bible and men are human. if god wrote it, there would be one perfect version and he'd burn all the rest. but there are hundreds of versions and interpretations because it's not perfect. doesn't mean it's not a good book just means it's not straight from god like Christians have been brain washed into believing

what the fuck he is trying to say ? an error is not an error ? this is silly

@keith1y call things by its name. it was not a 'servant', it was a SLAVE. Slaves are your PROPERTY, you can BUY them, SELL them, BEAT them, etc. There is no moral ground in which is acceptable TO OWN another human being.

Stand to Reason is PROPAGANDA. You have to resort to propaganda because your faith is something obscure and not suceptible of being demonstrable, it needs apologetics, proselitizing, because it's absurd, illogical, inmoral, inhuman, anti natural. You need to defend your faith because nobody wants it. It clashes with all the values of civilization, it's divisive, totalitarian, childish, feeble. Stand to Reason means opose reason, it's your enemy, it shows how ridiculous your faith is.

@PhilosophicalStud Amen, brother. All the factual absurdities, scientific nonsense, moral abominations and historical fictions, are adastation that this book is neither inspired, and least by any god, nor even a supernatural lesser entity. It's the dellusion of desert dwelling savages. And the moral cowards of today, that cant face life without a sky daddy watching for them, are going to hold on to it as hard as they can.

A holy book would be a miracle in itself. Fallen from the sky, bam, in undestructible paper, with perfect composition and redaction. With the same narrative tone (that of its only author), consistent with all knowledge, with wisdom beyond human capacity (like deutoronomy), and evoking an incontrovertible comunion to EVERY reader. But it only appears as such to people that before hand want to believe it is true, and dedicate their entire lives rationalizing what even a 10yo can see is not such.

It's interesting that the omnipotent creator of the entire universe needs witnesses to speak on his behalf. 'Oh, they're not errors, they're human mistakes'. Well, da. It's the word of men. If it was supernaturally inspired, it would be perfect. Pathetic fundamentalists.
