Um, I didn't back you up. I disagreed with both of you.
the bible is probably the most contradictory book ever written lol
It is, but that doesn't say anything about it. The early Hebrews and early members of the Jesus Movement who wrote the bible cared little for inconsistency. If you're looking at the Old Testament, in particular the Genesis stories, you'd find that it's a lot less inconsistent if you realize that it is
two genesis stories, placed side-by-side, and that within each of the two stories there is a fair amount of internal consistency. In the New Testament, particularly the gospels, the "inconsistencies" don't matter at all, because the intent of the stories were to spread the preaching of Jesus. Ancient biographies, as a genre, cared little for historical accuracy.
A lot of "lol its cool to hate religion"-type kids will sit around and claim that the Bible can't possibly be true because the original writers were
too dumb to notice the glaring inconsistencies in their text... That's simply not the case. They were competent writers and these sort of things would have been obvious to them. They just don't care about it, since it didn't apply to the medium in which they were working.
I could go on all day, but don't make me. The only thing worse than an uninformed Christian is an uninformed Atheist who criticizes the wrong parts of a religion. If you're going to be the kind of person to trash the Bible, you should have more than a passing knowledge in it. In fact I believe that everybody should be familiar with it, regardless of creed, if only because it is
the single most influential piece of literature the Western world has ever known.
Now please stop trying to get in the last word and let this topic steer itself back on track, sport.
