what glaring contradictions are there to be found in the Bible that all of the "atheists" talk about?

And since they are always demanding "proof" that the Bible is true, I'm wondering if any of them might be able to supply "proof" that it is not true.

Before you begin answering, you should know that no acceptable answers should include links to other websites, or any mention of "evolution."

You say Christians are not "open minded" - let's see what you've got apart from hurling insults.

Translation theories either tend to describe general trends (ie Scheiermacher, Venuti, Domestication & Foreignisation) or get caught up in tiny specifics (ie University marking schemes, lexical choice). While skopostheorie and discourse linguistcs have helped, they still don't really help you make choices while you are translating.
Why hasn't a bridge been found between product and process orientated approaches as well?

D`ya think 3000 years of listening to every sick and twisted individuals evil thoughts, hearing the screaming of the suffering, seeing children being abused. Watching every depraved or evil act ever committed would drive you MAD?
How can God possibly be sane after all that?

Are you oblivious of the bounty of God who invites you to come yonder? The whole world of six directions is brimming with His bounty. Wherever you turn, His munificence is manifest.

Since I believe that the bible is not inerrant or necessarily the word of god (or maybe that this god is bad at math and biology), does that mean that I'm doomed to burn in hell?

Do you just say a few Hail Mary's, do the cross thing, and say that 'Jesus forgives'? Do you think this means you can commit as much sins as you want everyday without consequence?

God comdemns fornication, homesexuality, sodemy, anal sex, adulty, and all that good stuff that you all like to do. I strongly doubt that you even feel guilt when you do fornicate everyday, or pray to God to forgive you even with your daily rebellion against his laws.

What is your excuse? How do you avoid the fires of hell with your constant sinning?

1. A world where all forms of religion and spirituality are forbidden.

2. Or, a world where ONE religion bans all other forms of religion and spirituality and forces their own religion on ALL the people of the world.

Why?

How do I make it very clear in a very nice way that a party I am having is for adults and their kids are not invited this time? I'm afraid that even if I address the envelope to Mr. & Mrs. "smith", they might think the whole family is included because they were included in the past for other events.

If you go back to Genesis or the Torah or the tablets that the Jews have had fr over 4000 years there is a prophecy in the names.

Hebrew names have meanings. From Adam to Noah. For instance Noah means rest, Seth means appointed and Jared means shall come down.

From Adam to Noah this is what it says:

"Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow (but) the blessed God shall come down preaching that his death shall bring (the) despairing rest!"

Now what is a prophecy about Christ preaching his death which he did doing in the Torah a Jewish book 4000 years before his birth? Once more it claims that Christ is also the blessed God! Interesting, what do you think?
