lol, really? of all the things in the bible that is what baffles you?

inherent inconsistancies in the bible number in the hundreds, I don't have the numbers with me, but anyone can google "bible inconsistancies" and see for themselves. Now talking about inconsistancies in the actual teachings, parables, sermons, etc... wow, it would be like watching deep space nine at a treck convention (hopefully I'm not the only one who gets that analogy ._. )

but playing the devil's advocate (wait, is that cliche ironic?)

one is asked to "have the faith of a child" specifically because the authors knew it would be cold day in hell (okay I'm done being ironic) when any of the sheep ever saw an actual miracle.

So then someone rebelious enough to ask "hey, where's my miracle!" could quickly be reprimanded, "the bible says not to ask for a miracle! blind faith! repent! repent heathen!"

of course many christians circumvent this no miracle clause of the bible by pretending to speak in tongues, playing with snakes, and blaming every god damn perfectly logical and explainable act of nature and chance on god. I mean, blind faith? are you kidding? personal jesuses don't have time for that, what with conversion quotas and all.

Really it's like an inconsistancy circle:

1. People in the Bible get miracles to believe, but we're not allowed to.

2. We'll just go around pretending every other thing is a miracle even though the bible says not to look for one.

3. If we get a failed miracle, revert to quote in Bible saying not to expect miracles.

4. When faith falters, read about all the miracles that really really must have happened in the Bible because the Bible says they happened in the Bible.

5. Back to going around pretending everything is a miracle... and so on.

While Bible inconsistancies are fun like in the way it's fun to tell that snot nosed kid at the roller rink there's no such thing as Santa because he skates better than you and you're a grown ass man damnit,

I prefer pointing out the inconsistancies of peoples' actual present faith. For instance this girl asked me to pray for her because she was having a minor surgery, and I told her prayer doesn't work, and she said I didn't know that, then I said okay then if it works I'm going to spend the time praying for the little kids in Africa because they're just little kids, and don't have the wonders of modern medicine to save them.

You see, either way, she wasn't worthy of my prayers.
