The Bible contradicts itself too much
How can anyone, in this day and age, believe that the Bible is the Word of God or even the inspired Word of God when it clearly fails to live up to those expectations?
The God described in the Bible does not and can not exist.
The 3 important attributes of God (omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence) contradict each other.
Jesus claims, multiple times, that if you pray for something, and you truly believe, your prayer will be answered. In the history of recorded time, God has never healed an amputee. There must have been at least one single person in history who prayed for an amputee to be healed and truly believed in the Bible as the Word of God and in the teachings of Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and as the son of God and God Himself and the Holy Spirit.
Yet, nothing.
People claim the without the Bible we would have no basis for morality. The Bible promotes sexism, racism, and slavery explicitly throughout its pages. According to the Bible, if a man, upon marrying his wife, finds that she is not a virgin, the punishment is death by stoning. Likewise, if a child is to backtalk to his parents, the punishment is the same: a stoning to death.
You cannot pick and choose. You cannot leave out the bad things because they arenâ??t accepted in todayâ??s world. If you believe the Bible is truly the Word of God you must adhere to it fully, or you are disobeying God and will likely to be sent to that ridiculous Hell place.
Yahweh, the Christian God, is a fable. The unfortunate truth is that this imaginary being is controlling America right now. I won't get into further detail on this, because it pisses me off, but suffice to say that the fact that Christians rule this country is a very bad thing indeed.

Even at a catholic high school they reiterated that the bible is the work of man. It is not devine. But then again, the old nun who taught that used to ride a motorcycle back in the day...

What credence does it then have as just the work of man?
Saying that it is just the work of man lends itself to the idea that the book is simply fiction.

For starters, how can books written at least 30-50 years after Jesus' death accurately portray the man or his message. And was there not a vote on the divinity of jesus?
And why, if this is gods holy book, did any book rejected from the bible get put to the torch? Let's not forget the Dead Sea scrolls and the Gnostic gospals...

Because man is only capable of fiction?
