This will be a web page dedicated to documenting contradictions that coexist in the Christian system, not the usual "Bible Contradictions" of this verse -vs- that verse, but rather contradictions and hypocrisies in the very thinking of the Christoholics that comprise Christianity.
Truth Personified vs Personified God Christians claim that Jesus was truth personified, the "word" (logos) that "become flesh". Yet these same Christians who claim that "truth" itself used to wet its diaper as a flesh and blood infant, mock the Mormons for... having gods of flesh and blood.
Christians crave to have their New Testament treated with the same respect that
any history book receives. Like Rodney Dangerfield, they feel “no respect”
when their Bible is instead treated
like any other ancient wacko religious writing rather than legit history. Listen
to Christian author Josh McDowell as he begs for some respect for his Bible:
One problem I constantly face is the desire on the part of many to apply one
standard or test to secular literature and another to the Bible. ONE
NEEDS TO APPLY THE SAME TEST, whether the literature under investigation
is secular or RELIGIOUS. Christians whine when modern scholars don't treat their religious holy book like some sort of "History 101" , yet whenever a modern historian DOES treat the Bible like any other ancient history book, they whine even more! One of the basic tenets of modern history is to weed out wacko tales from days long gone via the rule that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. In other words, if an ancient book makes extraordinary claims of things that we no longer see demonstrated in our world, these claims are rejected. For example, flying mountains and flying carpets. The things that are left over have the potential of being actual history. So, what the modern Christians actually want is a hypocritical double standard: they want all other ancient history books EXCEPT their Bible to go thru the sieve of modern historical analysis to weed out the extraordinary claims of things for which we find no modern examples of, especially the deeds of ancient gods. Once again, keep in mind this Christian principal: whatever evidence supports their religion is GOOD, whatever goes against their religion is BAD. In short, they want to use history when it supports their religion, and NOT use history when it goes AGAINST their religion, all for one goal: promotion at all costs of their religion, truth be damned.
We Are Perfect We are Not Perfect- Just Forgiven Christians are arrogant in their assertions of moral superiority to everyone else on this planet, yet when shown the documented evidence, oft times from Christian pollsters such as Barna that they're really not any better, and in fact sometimes worse, they'll fall back on the "Just Forgiven" quibble and forget their earlier arrogance.
Short Pithy Contradictions Within Christian Thought Islam vs Christianity: If success as a religion proves Christianity true, then what does the overwhelming success of Islam over Christianity throughout the ENTIRE Middle East (circa 600 AD) prove, if not that Allah beat Joe Hovah's ass in a one-on-one fight??? (For those Christians ignorant of their own history [i.e. most of you bozo's], the countries of North Africa & the Middle East used to be overwhelmingly Christian nations, and the Muslims came in with Allah around 600 AD and Christianity got its ass kicked.) So much for your god being "all powerful". Temptations: IF the "temptations" that Fundies are subjected to REALLY came from the devil, rather than just from their own biological monkey nature, they would be temptations to commit "SPIRITUAL" sins rather than "sins of the flesh". For example, Fundies would have their evil conscience tempting them to do such evil acts as... join the Mormons, or... become a Jehovah's Witness, or... pick up sticks on the Sabbath, or... blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Instead, what we see is exactly what any gorilla or chimpanzee would be tempted with: food, fucking, and fun. Charles Darwin awaits their apology.
