    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.

          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…

                  Anyone can make a list claiming something is contradictory. Although from the header of that site you can clearly see that it’s an issue of the heart primarily, which motivates unreasonable scrutiny like this.

                  The first “contradiction” I clicked on was claiming the Bible saying that Aaron dying at Mount Hor and saying he died at Mosera, which was the camp at Mount Hor, is apparently a contradiction. That’s like saying a description of someone who died in the USA under the presidency of Benjamin Harrison and another description saying that the same person died during the Victorian era is contradictory.

                  Also worth acknowledging the admission in the footer “Many of the contradictions above stem from a literal interpretation of the stories in the Bible. Some verses may be mistranslations, allegories, exaggerations, etc. and can be interpreted in the context of the society in which they were written, rewritten, or otherwise modified over time, while others are very clear contradictions.”

                  Pick one from that list for me.
