Intrinsic Flaws Of Christianity

Christianity is a religion in

which events are claimed to have occurred
but which can

never be proved. Those who practice it live by different

morals than are preached by the most holy texts. It is an

institution in which the most holy scripture is contradictory,

and wherein the supreme being, by the very definition,

cannot exist. Christianity is, therefore, a fundamentally

flawed religion. According to the Bible, events have

occurred
which are even more miraculous than the

resurection of Jesus Christ. Events such as the stopping of

the sun by Joshua (Joshua 10:12-14), the reversal of the

sun's course by Isaiah (Isaiah 38:7-8) , the resurrection of

the saints, and their subsequent appearance to many

(Matthew 27:52-53) were witnessed by thousands of

people. The stopping and reversal of the sun would have

been visible worldwide. The idea that people could have

witnessed these events without having been amazed by

them is, quite simply, ludicrous. Other cultures having

witnessed this would certainly have offered their own

explanations in keeping with their own cultural and religious

beliefs. Surely a society existing at the time would have

documented this miraculous event. Yet nowhere have such

works been found. In the instance of the resurrection of the

saints, Matthew is the only person to mention this

occurence in the Bible. Surely other first-century Christians

would have used this as further proof of Jesus' divinty. It

would fall to reason that Paul and the gospels would have

mentioned it. This is not, however, the case. Nowhere else

in the Bible is this mentioned or even hinted at. These

events are then, at best, highly unlikely to have occurred
.

The fact that Matthew is alone in writing of the resurrection

of the saints leads us to believe that certain writers of the

Bible had differing views on christianity. The christian Bible

is highly contradictory, not just to modern day christian

beliefs, but in and of itself. Today's...
