This question was asked less objectively last time. I hope the Bible critics can play fairly this time.

Please post ONE AND ONLY ONE example of what you consider to be a contradiction in the Bible.

So that I can't be accused of picking the one that suits my needs the most, I will let the readers pick the one they think is the best answer.

I will then post my explanation of why this is not really a contradiction in the Bible.

I plan to demonstrate that the things people think are contradictions actually glorify God even more but only to those willing to search the matter out.

Of course I will get accused of rationalizing everything to fit my needs which is why I will post my answer back as a question and let the readers vote on whether I have done an objective job at answering the issue.

This should demonstrate that those that say that the Bible is full of contradictions are really just making excuses.

All posts must contain one and only one example to be voted on.

So here's the plan: I want to get back at this bastard. I did some thinking and the best way to get back at him is to send him a box of poop. Then when he opens the box, the poop will splat on his face. So yesterday, I ate some nachos, chips, beans and all those stuff that gives you diarrhea/constipation. And this morning, I woke up to take a crap. Man, it was not good. The smell was so horrible that it could kill your dead cat. And I thought I was gunna died from pooping. So I took a big chunk of poop and placed it in a box(which I will then ship it to him). I also put some springs in it so when he opens it, it'll pop right into his ugly face. The only concerns I'm having are: A)the smell will make people suspicious B)the mailman gets hungry and eats it, C)the trap will be destroy from all those bumping in the delivery truck.

so anyone think my plan will work?

I have been at my job for 1 1/2 yrs and the only time I take off is when my daughter is sick or when I have to go to court with her father. My boss automatically uses my vacation days for these off days. The problem is, is that every time I have ever mentioned I need a day she gets like,"this is your last time." Well I don't do it very often at all- but now I need to go to court one more time this month and then I want to also tell her that I need off a week to go to Florida. It just sucks because she has used all my vacation days and now I am a little freaked to say something, but I have to! Any suggestions?

And no I am not strange looking but very ordinary.

Many many Christian groups have come to the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Katrina, it's been a year and they are still here. Many say this has been a life altering experience for them. They have been a big help to us. I know they have the best intentions and we appreciate it. But they look at us with such a strange expressions on their faces. We are just ordinary people like everyone else. What in the world are they thinking? Can any of you Christian people give me a clue? I can't read them very well and I am pretty good at reading people.

The top scientist are mostly Atheists.

If God is not behind scientific discoveries which save lives, shouldn't you be praying to scientist which are mostly Atheists?

If God controls Atheists, why are we still Atheists?

What’s the different between faith and wisdom? Use your own words

They both believe in God but Catholics believe Jesus Christ was the son of God and Jews believe he was just a prophet or whatever you would like to label him as. I was raised a Catholic and the differences there scare me because one of the religions is dead wrong. Either He was the son of God or not, there is no inbetween. If the Jews are right then I think about how everything has been a lie. I also think how priests and many people have wasted hours upon hours of their time, if not their whole lifes dedication, worshipping Jesus or preaching about him. Does this "scare" anyone else??? What is your opinion on this matter?

When I was in high school I never quite understood/enjoyed dancing. Let me explain. Firstly, I am not gay so that wasn't the reason. They just seemed stupid to me. For a fast dance you ask a girl to dance and you both stand opposite each other shaking. For a slow dance, you ask a girl and you hold each other and sway around. Whats so enjoyable about that? I'd rather listen to the music and smoke some pot. Even more stupid is by a family celebration where you see your father dancing with an other man's wife - why? whats the point? Lastly, one uncomfortable dance for me was when I asked a hot chick that I had a crush on to slow dance and she agreed. The only problem was that I was 15 and I popped a bo'ner and was very self conscience

5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.7 So the LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”

Genesis 6:5-7 (New King James Version)

There is something wrong with my Bible, it seems to be written by someone who thinks that God uses natural disasters to punish human beings. I'm sorry, is this the intellectual equivalent of "we didn't sacrafice enough virgins to zeus thats why our wheat did not grow, now we must do rain dance"
