God throws bastard children under the bus

Posted on May 18, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

A while back I made a post showing a bible contradiction about the number of the sons of Abraham (see link below). After pointing out the contradiction, I argued that when god ordered Abraham to kill his “only” son, Isaac, Abraham … Continue reading →

An entire book of the bible is a trashy romance novel bordering on pornography

Posted on May 15, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Song of Songs (or Song of Solomon) is one of the more interesting books of Judeo-Christian-Islamic* canon. It’s pretty much porn. The “song” is allegedly about Mick Jagger’s “Brown Sugar” … ahem. It’s about a black woman … Well, it’s … Continue reading →

Bible Contradictions #36: Does everyone have to die?

Posted on May 14, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Death is an absolute. There’s nothing we can do to stop our march towards the grave. What happens after that is unknown (and therefore not worthy of debate). But when we look to the bible we see an apparent uncertainty … Continue reading →

Bible Contradictions #35: Is it ok to make images?

Posted on May 8, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Some people believe that Moses’ serpent staff in Numbers 21:8 is part of the inspiration for the symbol for medicine. This is, of course, false. The symbol comes from Hermes. Sometimes it’s easy to get Moses and Hermes confused. They were both … Continue reading →

Why are there no baby saints?

Posted on May 7, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

The newly-recognized Pope Saint John Paul II was a canonizing cannon during his earthly tenure. A quick look to Wikipedia reveals at least 362 (I might have miscounted) saints ordained by our Polish friend. That’s a lot of dead people … Continue reading →

Bible Contradictions #34: If a man believes, is his non-believing family saved?

Posted on May 5, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Both Acts 16:31 and 1 Corinthians 7:14 teach us that when Christian husbands marry atheist wives, they are saving the immortal soul of the wife. Indeed, Acts takes it a step further, alleging that his entire family will be saved. Indeed, 1 … Continue reading →

Bible Contradictions #33: Who were David’s sons born in Hebron?

Posted on May 3, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

This contradiction deserves a caveat: Chileab and Daniel (as a son of King David) are technically the same person. They have two different names. There is no reason for us to think that Chileab and Daniel are two different people. … Continue reading →

When Christians say we don’t believe in anything, they’re sort of right

Posted on May 1, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

When I defended my thesis, one of my committee members asked me, “Why do you believe hope is a more important variable than the others?” I wrote my thesis on the genesis of self-immolation. Anyway, I gave him a long-winded … Continue reading →

Bible Contradictions #32: Who gave the law to Moses?

Posted on May 1, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

After leaving Egypt, Moses and his gang went on a lot of wacky adventures. At some point Moses took it upon himself to try his hand at mountain climbing. When he got to the top of Mount Sinai he received … Continue reading →

Bible Contradictions #31: Can we eat animals?

Posted on April 30, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

This is a personal favorite of mine, but that’s probably because I’m vegan. But I’m not here to discuss the ethics of eating meat; this is an atheist-themed blog, not a blog for veganism. What makes this question so interesting … Continue reading →
