The Bible was written by primative men like you would find in remote regions of Afganastan today. No wonder it sounds so barbaric.

Primitive, you say?
So, you think that Euclidian geometry is primitive and barbaric, since Euclid lived 325BC-265BC?
Socrates was primitive and barbaric, having walked the earth between 470 and 399 BC?
Or is it just that you are racist against people from the Middle East and perceive them to be primitive and barbaric--even though you weren't around to know them but you're just judging based on your own personal intuition?

Actually, the Apostle Paul was highly educated, long before he became a Christian. The Apostle Luke was a doctor. What you see now in Afghanistan is centuries of people interpreting their scriptures in numerous ways. As for the Bible, current ones are versions, not translations. The King James, which may have been called the Queen Elisabeth, had she not died before it was completed, has 20,000 translation errors. It was a compilation of five other Bibles being used in England at the time. It has whole scriptures that were added to help clarify the beliefs of the church. Which Bible did you read, completely through? Or did you read all of them, completely through?

Many say the Bible contradicts itself. I think it looks at both
sides of the story. Most people only see what goes along with
their personal point of view. But I think we are supposed to
ask for guidance when we read it.
Jesus said the path to life is a narrow path, don't fall to the
left or the right. But that's exactly what we have in this day
and age. The Left and Right. Conservatives, and Liberals,
going from one extreme to the other.
If one asks for guidance and they are getting too conservative,
the Holy Spirit will lead them to something more liberal. And
if they are getting too liberal, the Spirit will lead them to something
more conservative. Our Creator wants us to have an even mind.

There are a lot of generations between primitive men and Moses.
Maybe if you worked that barbaric book, you would find you inconsistencies not so inconsistent.

They were no more primative than you or anyone else like you in this section...as a matter of fact your primativism/ barbarism surpasses theirs. They had much greater character than you and unlike you and your ilk they had a sense of honor...
You could not write a better Bible, you don't have the wisdom necessary..

Which bible are you actually reading?
I read the KJV 1611 and have found no inconsistencies.
The other versions have things mixed up, added, and/or subtracted.
