you wanted them so here are a few contradictions:
PSA 145:9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
JER 13:14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.

The Bible would be better if religion didn't exist.

It is written, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." A promise that Jesus made to us in Matthew 24:35
God's Word will always exist and we will be judged by His Word.
I will never understand why the Holy Bible is not read everyday and studied during some of the week days. This Book has stood the test of time and still stands strong. The most contested and debated book in the entire world and it stands just as strong today as it did thousands of years ago. False religions have changed and reprinted it to serve Satan, but Almighty God sent the Dead Sea Scrolls to verify the original. God's Word will stand the test of time. God promised it and God doesn't lie.

Yes. Many people doubt the validity of the Bible, basically because various councils over the years had a hand in deciding what gets in and what doesn't. And, who is to say it wasn't a work of fiction? It's not like they had a dewey decimal system back then. Many Christians point to the Bible as their safety net whenever logic fails them. That is most aggravatng.

Let's look at the term Christianity. It breaks down to Christian, and Christ. The Bible is based on many people, but, the New Testament speaks of Christ. So I suppose we can ditch the Old Testament, but, that is like throwing out History of the World.

Without the OT maybe - there was a man I believe it was Marcian who wanted to scrap the OT but the documentary I was watching suggested that if that had happened then Christianity might never have got off the ground.
People (ignorant people) believe things more easily if they're ancient - so tying it in with the OT made sense in those days.

Because God exists, and the word with God, and the word was God, and the word came to us in the flesh by way of Jesus birth, life, crucifixion, and ressurection, Christianity would'nt exist without God's word. How old are you anyway?????
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Christianity would be a whole lot better if the out-dated opinions of that woman hating Pharisee Paul (AKA Saul the self-confessed murderer) had been tossed out.
Christians would then have to try and obey Christ--& give up their finger pointing judgmental condemnation of their fellow humans.

Well, maybe these days it would be better to just have the 10 commandments and the words of Jesus. Of course, I am biased on the subject because I am a self-read Christian. So, I don't put much confidence in the words of Paul and Peter.

What manual or book would you propose to be used in it's place? Everything that is taught, usually has a written form of word to teach from. The evil in the world is not because of the bible or Christianity, it is man's perception of the world as he sees it, and the many interpretations of the bible. Each religion thinks it's teaching is the true teaching.

Christianity is based on and has come from the Bible since no one is old enough to witness its authenticity by being there and then relating it to us now.

99.9% of problems raised by "Christians" are based on the Old Testament. Christ was a Jew as well, of course. He 'inherited' the Jewish traditions... but he caused major departure by preaching forgiveness and love. Yes. If the Old Testament didn't exist, Christianity would be a much healthier institution.
