Its not that the old testament contradicts the new...
although it does. Its that the teachings throughout the
bible in both testaments contradict each other.

I know, but surely something in say, Job, overwrites
something in Judges as it's more recent?

What?! By that arguement we should only read Revelation cos
thats the most uptodate.

Its like saying that what God (apparently) said in one book
is not really what he meant to say, what he meant to say was
what he said later on. No Christian could accept that.

They could maybe accept that things written a very long time
ago may have little to do with modern society... but your
one book over writes another argument won't stand up my
friend

A lot of religious scholars dismiss the Revelation of Saint
John as either:

The rablings of someone on ergot (common in
palestine/jerusalem at that time)

The views of a madman.

Actually an early (Damn, what's the name, I think it's
cirillic- an early form of Christianity) text that has no
place in the bible.

Still, it's good for a laugh anyway and the end of days
sounds like a whole barrel of fun.

don't take the bible so literally

the magic of the bible lies in the ideas

the stories are there only to make the idea clear

and you can't really disagree with them
