Now. This was the discussion that I was going with so that everyone knows what I'm trying to say:
Me: The bible is the word of God. Yes or No?
Christian: Yes they are his words be they written himself or divinely inspired. This is the word of God.
Me: Okay. Here's a huge list of contradictions. What do you have to say about it?
Christian: I only follow Christ, blah blah blah.
Me: But you said the bible is the word of God. So you must be subservient to the one most high. All of creation answers to God.
Christian: Yes.
Me: Okay, remember the contradictions...
Christians: Okay...
Me: If the word of what is perceived to be the most powerful authority in all of creation is broken and inconsistent, then why would you want to base your votes or any policies in our system of government on what a broken book says?
Christian: Um....

That's an argument between you and Tam. Your argument is baseless if you remove the contradictions. You have ignored the facts that members (Saya/Solumina/Humane) have raised prior to your post about how contradictions can occur and potential remedies. If it was possible to prove that the contradictions you showed earlier were incorrect via mistranslation or w/e, would it make change your attitude on how you view Bible at all? Or would such an attempt be in vain? Also, do you realize that trying to analyze and discuss every supposed contradiction is one mammoth task?
I would like to point out that Christians in the first century also never supported any political movement or took arms or supported any nation whatsoever. Hell, even Jesus refused to do so. People tried to make him King, but he refused to partake in the Politics of his time.
