A contradiction in the bible should be a serious problem for any Christian; does faith allow you to ignore contradictions? Honestly, why do you make light of a serious contradiction in a book that you live your life by?
And don't forget who threw the first barb in this topic, Trae. It was you, in case you didn't remember. That says something about you.
Why do I waste my time trying to get you to look at your religion critically? Well, each and every person walking around with a faith-based value system is a liability to me -- especially in a democratic society. Take, for example, the anti-abortion standpoint Christians promote: it's a huge drain on society. I bet thousands of children are born into homes with inadequete resources everyday because of the mind-fuck the mother got in church. I'll also wager that several of those children are severely handicapped; and should have been terminated.
Hell, they just banned partial birth abortion with misinformation; that ones going to cost the tax payer a couple million over the next decade.
I heard this on radio today "You can't stand still on a moving train"; that sums up my feelings on this rather well. Look at the politicians that run our country: do you think an athiest/agnostic could be president? I don't; they'd have to get "born again" ASAP if they had any chance in getting into office.
