srd, I thought about you when I stumbled upon this site a couple of days ago.
I was researching what the term "word of God" meant. The Bible? or Jesus? (John 1:1) No conclusion there, yet.

Nice. I'd like to eventually do a book project on this "claim." The Bible's contradictions would be just one small piece of the textual data that clearly demonstrates that these texts were/are not the word of god! Additionally, in the context of the ancient Near East, many texts were presented and authorized as the "word of god" -- hell hieroglyphs were the language/word of god. Thus the Bible's texts must a,lso be viewed in this historical andliterary context. Third, the claim that the Bible is the word of god can only be made in the interpretive tradition AFTER the Bibe was made, i.e., 1 c. BC at the earliest. ....
goto skepticsannotatedbible.com you can flip to any bible page and it shows the contradictio ns, cruelties, etc.
Heaven: that was a very educational and humorous video. Thanks for sharing that.
