Christians: Can you name one bad thing about the Bible?

I've tried to ignore it but there is always something or someone somewhere makeing me see 13 as a meaning rather then just a number.
For instance the last thing that was brought to my attention was that the dollar bill shows the eagle with 13 leaves in his right hand ,13 arrows in his left hand and 13 stars above his head.Also the pyramid takes 13 steps to get to the eye in the sky.
Apallo 13? Was it named Apallo 13 and then the astronuts in it exploded on the 13th with the Apallo.
After all 911 happened on 9/11 and the year after that on exactly 911 the 3 digit lotta game won with the numbers 911 on exactly 9/11.
when realating 13 to 911 Im just wondering if its all still meaningless.
2012 its said the world will be destroyed as we know it.Will the new beginning start 2013?
There is alot more but I don't want people to think Im nuts.

What is the probability that the god will have similar characteristics as bipedal primates who have claimed the world as their own?

What is the probability that - assuming the god is similar to humans - it favors this creature who is destroying other life on earth at an exponential rate?

What is the probability that the god cares so much about such an insignificant and miniscule piece of the universe?

The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
Jesus replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.Luke 17:5-6

The best way to get pot legalized is to have fair drug testing – test everybody!

Start with governmental employees, right up to the President. If I’m paying your salary, as a tax payer, you get random drug testing. You will get a minimum of one every year! This way the big boys at the top, the powers that be, will either have to quit getting high or stand up and be counted. This is the fastest was to decriminalize pot. In other words, let's drug test the people making the laws. See how quickly the laws are changed when it's their heads on the chopping block.
The corporation $100 million CFO can take a drug test just like the $18/hr shop worker.

GET IT?

I don't just mean God. I also mean people or whatever else you might interpret this as.

Do many atheists generally celebrate Christmas? Is it looked upon as just a fun time to exchange gifts? How do you view it given that there are religious overtones to it? Nope, not going anywhere with this question other than the question itself. Simply curious if you celebrate and if it has any sort of meaning or signifigance to it outside of just a fun time to gather with friends and family.
Thanks

Science goes into the field and finds things out and returns with the findings, just like Sherlock Holmes. So they HAVE found cells. They HAVE found fossils. And all the other stuff. They can show it. They can demonstrate evolution. The theory of evolution is like the theory of electricity. It IS incomplete, yet over and over again it can be shown. (Try this. Suck your thumb and get it real wet. Take a light bulb out of a lamp and then turn the lamp on. Stick your thumb in the light socket. Even if you pray to Jesus not to let electricity harm you, see what happens.) SOOO then -- God is kidding around with us? He's saying, "Red isn't red. It's blue!"? What goes on here? Why is it when the collection plate comes around I can't think a couple of hundred dollars into it but when carbon dating shows that earth is 4 1/2 billion years old, god is just fooling us to test our faith? What is god then? Some kind of devil? A comedian?

Should all non-profit religions change their last name to cult?

Would that make the world of non-profit religions an even playing field?

Would that clarify what is meant by faiths-based initiatives?

(And yes, I'll be posting this question in forums related to the 3 other words.)

Let's say someone just blurted out those four words, or it just came to your head, or... you saw these words in this question. What is your initial reaction? It can be anything.

For me, it's... All 43 US presidents are... straight Christian white men!

Though meny of you have helped me with my questions, Some only make matters worse, take into account my questions about the Wiccan and Pegan religons, Why is it that some people on here have the nurve to say " spells and chants are fake, that I should belive in god" with all do respect I understand your belifes, I used to be a christain, but god never answerd me, so I have lost faith in him, However this is not about me it is about the certain people on here that preach to you about their riligon, why even answer a question invloving spells and chants, if you do not belive in them or the particular religon? I am sure that I am not the only one getting answers like this. I think it is highly disrespectful to those people and there riligons, who are you to tell them that god will send you to hell for these belifes, you are not god so do not juge other religons and do not comment on the riligon unless you yourself have experince in the particular religon.

Thank you for your time
