HOLES IN CHRISTIANITY!

[profdunebastard]

Magonus asked for them, let's give some to him boyos.


I'll think of some, someone else feel free to get it started.

Okay, God created all things to be vegetarian and prohibited man from eating animals(until Noah's flood and the covenant after) yet Abel was a sheperd-who kept animals for meat, and God preferred the meat as a sacrifice over Cain's plants-what God told him to eat!

Is God so fickle to change his mind and make rules to follow and then reward those who disobey? Just about as fickle about putting a forbidden tree in a garden that is easily accessed by two people who don't even know right from wrong, as they have no knowledge of good or evil. He then allows a talking serpent to enter the garden and approach these innocent people-who don't even know right from wrong! He then punishes these people and their children and their children's children's children's children's children for doing something wrong without the knowledge of right and wrong, punishes all snakes by taking away their legs(even though some argue the snake was satan, thus punishing snakes and snakes' children's children's children's children for something they didn't even do) God holds original sin to everybody, then decides he'll get rid of his own decree by being born in human flesh, then orchestrating events so his avatar is killed, basicly needlessly-somehow this explains why humans can be forgiven for original sin(something they didn't even do) God of course forbids human sacrifice, but he can do it, although its not really a sacrifice cause nobody lost anything.

If you want to believe that Magonus(yes it is a simplified version) go for it.

There are many logical holes, many contradictions and absurdities, but others are more experienced in illuminating them than I. This is but a start.

Somewhat pedantic in parts, but hey. It's the holy inspired work of God, right?

What, you think I spent all that time in Japan training to be a ninja without learning how to be quick on the draw?
;D
Wait...if I were posting that as the ninja would, I should have logged out and done it anonymously...shit!
At least ninja don't have honor so I don't have to commit seppuku or something.

I haven't read all of them yet, but there seems to be a trend here. They aren't holes in Christianity, they're instead mere bickering on word use or the fact that the Gospels were written many years after the fact and, as we all know, human memory is falible. Hence the reason for having four Gospels instead of one, so that the best picture could be gleaned from them. I was at first excited when I saw this thread, because I thought it could be interesting, with perhaps some novel points being made, but alas, I was wrong. But please, feel free to share if you do come up with some.

Some of the things in SAB are indeed a bit petty, due to translation errors. But certainly not all. As for my post, I don't see any comments from you on that-are you going to chalk it up to be not understanding the bible right?

[Valvilis]

Translation errors make up only a small part of what's on the SAB page given above. I'd wager Maggie is perfectly aware of that, too. He saw an easier route to take than arguing the blatent contradictions and strawmanned the entire set. What else is new?
