The ones that are contradictory to each other. The ones where God condones slaver and mass murder despite the fact that He is supposed to be a "loving father".

Revelations are simply psychotic and psalms are the same over and over. Job, that poor man did nothing but believe. there are many more that are odd or weird but the list would be to long those are my top three. I am an atheist but I've read the bible many of times it's quite the page turner, but people don't seem to get it's just a story.

Damn, I was going to post my favorite verse, but ZC beat me to it.
Anyway, just read the whole Book of Revelation. Lambs, 4 horses, 7 scrolls, 7 seals, edible scrolls, trumpets, bowls of God's anger. Locusts and dragons and beasts, oh my! It reads like Clive Barker on acid.
Even then, at least with Revelation you know from the first chapter that you're dealing with an all-out unconnected fantasy. The truly weird stories are the ones that make no sense. Plants being created before the sun and moon, Cain being given a wife from a city (that appeared out of nowhere) and moving out of his parents place as punishment for killing his brother...there's no shortage of weirdness, even my fictional standards.

They're weird scriptures in the Bible, mostly.

1 Kings 7:23.
The neighboring Egyptians had 3 1/7 as a value for pi hundreds of years before Solomon.

I find Ezekiel 23:20 rather strange. (I won't post the scripture here because doing so would probably earn me a violation notice. People can look it up.)

The parts where God is described as good, then illustrated as the most horrific baby murdering tyrant in, at least, all the fiction I've ever read. So crazy!

I don't know how to put this any more tactfully but anything by Paul is weird to say the very least. I'll leave it at that. Me: Buddhist

My personal favorite is when god was planning on killing many of the israelites for worshipping false idols - but then Moses talks him out of it. Hiliarious.
