Posted on January 29, 2014 by Rayan Zehn

Bible Contradictions #17: Are sins forgiven?

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Rayan Zehn

I posted about Mark 3:28-29 before, but I wanted to hit this one home again. The bible is full of passages speaking about god forgiving sins. We can rape, murder, commit acts of wanton genocide, and blaspheme against god and … Continue reading →

The Quran is basically just a book of threats (against pretty much everyone)

Posted on January 28, 2014 by Rayan Zehn

My Muslim roommate gave me a copy of the Quran, telling me that if I read it I will “surely become a Muslim, as everyone who studies religion will find the truth in this book.” I spent two evenings reading … Continue reading →

The bible doesn’t understand physics: Baffling blunder in the Book of Joshua

Posted on January 27, 2014 by Rayan Zehn

Yesterday I wrote about how Joshua became the only person in the bible who commanded god to do something that god actually did. It wasn’t a prayer, a plea for help; it was a demand. Basically, in order to win … Continue reading →

Is prayer not working? Try commanding god to help you!

Posted on January 26, 2014 by Rayan Zehn

The Old Testament is chock full of military conquests of god’s chosen people over nonbelievers and polytheists. The Book of Joshua is a prime example. Joshua was commander of one such pre-crusades crusade. He sacks Jericho, saving a lone inhabitant: … Continue reading →

Posted on January 24, 2014 by Rayan Zehn

Bible Contradictions #15: Is incest ok?

Posted on January 22, 2014 by Rayan Zehn

Leviticus 18:9 clearly states not to have sex with your sister. Leviticus 18:12 takes this a step further: “You must not have sexual contact with your father’s sister; she is your father’s blood relative.” Clear as day. Don’t have sex with … Continue reading →
