Christianity/Catholicism? Don’t you mean just Roman Catholicism?
No, christianity as a whole. The sourcebook is a self contradictory slapfight perpetuated by whomever translated the particular copy you’re looking at, and is a convenient shield for those who choose not to follow the faith, but want a way to hurt/control others while pretending they do.
There are a lot of good lessons to take out of the sourcebook, but there’s more chaff than wheat to be had, and I just have no time for it anymore.
Why should I let them take what Jesus did for me away from me?
No one is saying you should let them take that from you. But you don’t have to be a christian to be a good person and to use the positives you gained from your experience. I took the good parts of the religion and moved on with my life. I’m still a good person and have the beliefs my christian family instilled in me, I just don’t care to surround myself with religious types for reasons that most religious people feel offended by.
Once again, someone thinks if they don’t believe in something, it won’t be true. I’m not a Christian because I simply like what it teaches- I’m a Christian because it’s true.

The Bible doesn’t contain any contradictions. Also, nobody can be a good person, not even Christians.
So you’re saying we will all go to hell? To hell with Christianity then

Not even Jesus? Lol
NO contradictions. Sure.
Tell me you haven’t actually read the bible without telling me you’ve never actually read the bible.
Also, that’s a bullshit copout by bad people who have no intention of improving themselves.
I have read the Bible. I don’t see all of these “contradictions” people talk about
Taylor Swift is not in the Bible. Not her, nor a picture, nor a prophecy of her.
Yep, that’s exactly the message you should have taken.
No fucking wonder you don’t see the contradictions of the Bible…
You’ve yet to name one yourself lol
How about a whole site dedicated to the topic?
Your lack of curiosity doesn’t mean squat about the contradictory nature of the Bible.
This the funniest thing I’ve read all day.
