I don't like to be a christian no more

It's not just about Christ, it has to do with everything and the Bible is basically is loaded with extreme discrepancies that Christians refuse to accept nor will they even investigate it. History is in disagreement with what the Bible says. Some of Christ's teachings may have been corrupted.

You'll find that many Christians will acknowledge discrepancies in the Bible, and they can often trace from where they came. For instance, a lot of them have to do with numbers: parts of the Bible will give an exact value while another will give a "round" number.

"Oi, there's 25,361 men against our 500!"
"Jenkins, you dolt! We don't have time for such nonsense; give me an approximation!"
"Oi, there's 25,000 men against our 500!"
"That's better."

2 Samuel 23:8
These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.

1 Chronicles 11:11
And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time.

Rounding error? Mmmmmmmm 😕

(1) False. Christianity comes from Jewish religion. Nothing to do with egypt's religion.

(2) The tree of Eden was in the Jewish scriptures long before Christianism.

(3) You are just talking about sensational pseudo-theories, which has not been proved at all. In fact, their only based are some resemblances. That's all. You see, some anti-catholic fundamentalist christian actually started this to bash the Catholic Church, in books such as the Babylon connection (whose author later recognized that he took only some assumptions but didn't have any real proof), later the anti-Christian took the same tactics to bash Christianity.

(4) Christianity is the most and better documented religion from the beginning up to date. With the exception of Fundamentalist christians, who think that Biblie fell from the sky, with an Index, chapters and that was written by God himself and think they should take it literally, Most of Christians: Catholics, Orthodox and Historical protestant groups know the documents starting from 1st century besides the Biblie itself, that enlighten about the way Bible should be interpreted, and the teachings first christians received orally from the apostles and his close disciples. We know Bible is God's revelation, and Inspired by the Holy Spirit, but written by men, according to the oral tradition they received from the apostles, and that certainly a book of collection of books is not sufficient for Christians, but they need the living testimony of the church founded by Christ, since Bible itself mentions it. Don't judge Christianity for the Fundamentalists.

2 Samuel 23:8 talks about "the Tachmonite" (Jashobeam, as mentioned in 1 Chronicles 11:11; "Hachmonite" is a homonym) as well as "Adino the Eznite," who killed 800 with a spear.

1 Chronicles 11:11 talks about Jashobeam--which reiterates "chief among the captains"--who killed 300 with his spear.

Personally, I don't care. The bible is just as flawed as any other book from it's time.

Please see:

That is where I got my information.

Brilliant strategy, Shakya.

Shakya: "LOOK THE BIBLE IS FLAWED LOL PWNED"

FeceMan: "Are you kidding me? Those are talking about two different things."

Shakya: "Well, I don't even care that you just disproved my argument with such ease--look at this awesome site that disproves Christianity!"

FeceMan: *Rubs his temples.*

No, incorrect. Did you look at the site? It does not disproves anything. It simply shows the bible from a realistic point of view. When it makes a case, it even gives the other side. It is a fair and balanced site. But you would not know that, if you didn't go there.

You're quite right that I didn't go there, as I made the assumption that it was one of the relatively frequently-linked websites made by a bunch of atheists who don't know Leviticus from Deuteronomy.

I don't know who made it; and you will probably not like it, but that doesn't mean that it is wrong.

Yeah Christians do accept discrepancies and may even probably conduct investigations to any accusations made by atheists like me, but if i know the christians better, they will eventually come up with moving speeches to convince the world that in the end the bible and their beliefs will always be right. I know how they brain-wash us, I was sitting in the middle of a sermon everyfay of my life and frankly I'm sick of it.

They cannot even decide between themselves which things are meant to be taken literally and which things are not.

Well if they would STOP telling people they are going to hell then maybe they wouldn't be called "X" tians. People would have more respect for them.

By the way, Xmas is coming soon... 😄
