[WWFStern]

Holy crap! This is, like, the most exhaustive list ever.

Thanks!

[Unbeliever]

Hi WWFStern! Welcome!

Actually, I left quite a few out of the list because they were too vague, or otherwise unsuitable, so it's by no means exhaustive, but it is a good resource, I think.

[Bronson]

These things are not contradictions.
They are a result of your understanding of the Bible.  
    Bronson

[Unbeliever]

Well, admittedly my understanding of the Bible is imperfect, though I've read it cover to cover 3 times, and studied it fairly extensively besides, but many of these are, nevertheless, quite contradictory. If you believe otherwise, you're perfectly welcome to explain which are not, and why.

[Mavar-the-Atheist]

THAT WAS THE LONGEST THREAD I'VE EVER SEEN!


You must've had a major hand cramp!
