    I spoke with a well known biblical scholar once and he said "I don;t understand all these people coming up to me with this chip-on-their-shoulder athiest arguments about how there are errors in the Bible. Of course there are errors in the Bible. It was written over thousands of years and had hundreds of editors in different time periods trying to justify different things. It's as if you had a book that Plato wrote the first chapter and Stephen King wrote the last one and everyone edited along the way. Of course there is contradictions. The contradictions are really no argument about the inherent human truth of the document really."

    i thought that was rather wise.

    • the book isn't right because it was made up by a lot of people is your statement?albums
