Is there anything in the bible that isn't contradicted somewhere else?

ECCLESIASTES comes pretty close to contradicting everything else in the Bible.

"For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have
no further reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten.
Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never
again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun."

John is also full of lines that contradict the other gospels and many scholars believe it was written significantly later. Someone who actually knows his Bible is free to contribute specific examples, but in general, the Jesus depicted in John is much less "human" and far more explicitly divine than he is in the other sources.

There's also the case of the Pentateuch/Torah wherein you can often find multiple accounts of the same story that blatantly contradict each other. Most famously, Genesis features two full accounts of the Garden of Eden story that basically follow the same arc but often differ hugely in the details. The Documentary Hypothesis offers one explanation for how these repeated sections came to be.

The Gospel of John refers to the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem which happened in 70 AD, so most Biblical scholars believe it was written at the very least forty years after Jesus' death. The other gospels are biographies of his life and sayings, with much less if any descriptions of his divine nature. For some reason the most widely believed theory is that these earlier texts were based on a plain, never discovered book of Jesus' sayings. Historical or logical truth mustn't have been an important goal for the early Churches who chose them as their canonical texts, for the four gospels often contradict themselves.

What I find amusing is that the top level represents more than 10% of his annual funding. It's entirely possible that Muir is funded by fewer than ten people.

Still nine more than his stand-in.

The AGC interpretation is a bit hard too, but how about :

People who would willingly allow gun control advocates to be maimed thanks to their unconscionable, ignorant desire to wield a gun are the real criminals in the gun control debate. AGC

I dunno, how about " Sadly, America's current gun control efforts amount to a finger in a gun barrel. We need stronger gun control measures."

There's a long tradition of making Captain America comics specifically to anger fascists. It's why Kirby and Simon created the character. So this DbD? It's proof Spencer and Acuna are doing something right.

There's also the AGC point that black lives do matter more than facts. Like in an abstract situation where the choice is between being factually correct and saving a person's life you should go with the latter.

Also black lives matter is more important than most facts. Like theirs surely facts about the circumference of George Zimmerman's balls or the amount of leaves on a given tree that are immeasurably less important than black lives.

Political predictions of yesteryear, based upon scarce media resources such as a singular newspaper, were often false. Political predictions of today, based upon multiple media platforms including E-readers, Cellphone twitter updates and up to date on-the-go podcasts, are much more accurate.

Anyone been keeping a running tally of how many times Muir has called for Obama to be assassinated?


He should just start doing right-wing alternative history poo poo.

D&D has been in a "America's last moaning death-gasps mode" for the past 7 years. His commentary on day-to-day events makes no sense unless you believe America is literally on the verge of uprising or about to self-destruct. Its funny how he calls himself a right-wing "Doonesbury" and criticizes Trudeau for losing touch with reality.

I can't quite wrap my mind around the cognitive dissonance needed to believe that we shouldn't bring in referees because a couple of the tens of thousands might be terrorists, while at the same time believing that " welp the terrorist watch list is has a 40% failure rate, we should let them all get guns"

Because the tragedy of an innocent American man having his gun wrongfully revoked is far more troubling than any number of innocent refugees being forced back into their homeland, where they will most likely die, to a modern American tea-partier like Muir.
