Tragic.


You realize that this works both way?

Each believer utterly convinced that they have the truth while all who disagree must be wrong, Hindus, Muslims, Jews Christians and all their various sects and groups, but cannot see that truth.

That there are contradictions in the bible is undeniable, unless the believer is using their own special definition of the term 'contradiction'

God for instance, cannot be described as 'good to all' and showing 'tender mercy' yet order a man killed for gathering sticks on a Sabbath.....which is neither a case of tender mercy or showing goodness toward the man gathering sticks.

It is a clear contradiction that no degree of denial can change.
