God answers every concieveable question in the text of the Bible, that's why it has so many contradictions. If I told you I had all of the answers and then proceeded to contradict myself would you worship me too?

Mission, there are too many to list here. Read it for yourself, without any one telling you how to interpret it, and you will find them.

I recently read the bible and decided to follow the laws I found. Yesterday I stoned a man who had touched a woman while she was menstruating. I also cut off a kid's hand when I caught him stealing. But later in the day, when I got mugged - I just turned the other cheek.

If you told me you had All the answers and then proceeded to contradict yourself I would ask you to explain what you meant, regardless if you were Baptist or Atheist. You have read the Bible and that is good. You have drawn conclusions on what you have read, we all do that. Now you have questions about contradictions. Of course but that is not your question here. Your question here is "would we worship you?". What is it exactly that you are trying to resolve. It seems that the statement within your question is that Christians are stupid. When you really want to know something about the Bible, a contradiction, a spiritual principle, a moral dilemma you can reach me by email. Hugenex2000 at yahoo. I would give you scripture references, logical evaluations, prophetic synopsis and so forth here but you seem to already have all of your own answers. Respect is the first step in honest communication.
And to answer your question, No, we would not worship you.
"concieveable"? did you mean to say "conceivable"

Im starting to worship you already!
Your questions are winding them up quite nicely!
We have to put up with them judging us for being "sinners" but when we do it back they cant handle it!
Nice one!!
And for those saying the bible has no contradictions and we are not reading it properly, you dont see the contradictions because you dont want to.
If you are looking for them they are easy to find! If they where right in your face do you think they would have "converted" so many people?? No because if the contradictions where obvious then "the church" would have been laughed at by everyone not just those with their own opinions and enough sense to realise its all a load of balls!
However back in at the start of religion most people didnt have a choice! It was convert or die! Now, i have a choice, no one will kill me for not beliving in religion so i dont have to! And dont say yes God will because he wont because there is no god!

What I find about the Bible is that it is about an area of the Middle East 2000 years ago and how the people lived then. I have a hard time relating to the Bible in any way other than as an interesting book with some morality tales in it. Contradictions? Who cares at this point?

Have you considered the possiblity that those 'contradictions' are not really contridictions but the Godly need to address situation A with Solution A where situation B required a different answer B?

God is not a God of confusion, so contradictions are not a viable idea in the Bible. It is true god says do not kill and Stephen was stoned the first maryter for his faith, God did not kill him. He did not contradict himself. God gave His Sons life for the people who did this act because they sinned - not because God sinned. God knows that in giving us free will we will all do thigns that are not acceptable to him even the people in the Bible; God did not make them sin.

Those who've read the Bible and think they have found contradictions, have only read it and have not studied it.
For example; Do you know what the meaning of Jesus Christ is and where it came from? Is it just a name or does it have a meaning? Of course this is only one example.

Of course NOT! I don't worship god neither so don't feel bad. :-)
"Mission" Take your pick the bible is full of them.
The bible says several times to kill people, saying they shall be stoned to death. Yet then it says your not allowed to kill.
The bible says no sexual relations with your parents and such, yet it talks about 2 girls who got their father drunk and had sex with him and they both became pregnant with their fathers child. ( So not only does it say you can't then it supports it, it also supports rape)
Here you go, go to this site and check it out you fill find out the answer to your question.

Contradiction are not in the bible you need to read it again,k so example God says in the old testament eye for a eye, and in the new testament Jesus says peace, but if you truely read through you'd know from Isaish that Jesus was going to be peaceful. sorry buddy you might be able to get over on non belivers but not a true servant
