Answer 1

Many of the OT stories have been taken from older polytheistic religions, (many scholars agree with this it is not just my idea alone), Creation, Cain and Abel, Tower of Babel, Noah and the flood. These are documented as at least 3000 years older than the biblical stories in the ancient Sumerian and Babylonian clay tablets.
Many concepts in the bible have obviously came from the ancient Egyptians, (hell, heaven, judgment of sins, Horus and Jesus).
The similarities between the Egyptian god Horus and Jesus are just to freaky to be coincidental. And of course there is the fact that there also exist many other dying god man myths that are similar to the life of Jesus and existed prior to his birth, Horus is just the oldest written account.

The concept that the true God would ever act in any such way as described in the OT as killing women, men and children, bashing babies to death allowing slavery, women to be raped, saying that a disabled or maimed person was not allowed to approach the alter or offer a sacrifice, and all of the other sins he would have committed after ordering man not to do them.

Along with all of the biblical contradictions in the bible.

And the fact that we know the history of Christianity and the council of Nicaea and how some books were not selected for the canonized version of the bible and how thr explanation of the Trinity was created.

Answer 2

The first page of genesis is fraught with contradiction... the first that comes to mind is that light is created before the sun and the stars. As we now know, the light we perceive is generated by those very bodies and cannot exist without them. The idea of the Christian God in itself is contradictory. There are literally way too many contradictions and absurdities in the Christian Bible to list in an answer, i will refer you back to the first question and have you visit the skeptics annotated bible. It's a fantastic source for answers to your question.

Cheers

Answer 4

The biggest flaw, is that it's obviously myth and legend. No great proof is required to show that snakes, donkeys and pigs don't talk, men don't rise from the dead or walk on water, etc.

Answer 5

there's a action picture called "Blasphemy" that replaced into banned in Italy via fact it refers back to the Pope via fact the CEO of a thousand million-dollar business business enterprise. you could watch the entire action picture on Youtube, and it rather is even subtitled for the complicated of listening to. even though it rather is not any longer a documentary.

Answer 6

Religion is a myth, not just Christianity, but all of them.

The overall problem is that there is no proof of a god(s).

There never has been and there never will be.

Lots...... God is love ~ God says destroy all the animals, children, and everything living in the land he wanted to give to the Jews (what do you know... they're still at it today)
Love your enemies ~ stone those who do this, or that
