Christianity
is a religion in which events are claimed to have occured 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. is, therefore, a fundamentally
flawed religion.
According to the Bible, events have occured which are even more miraculous

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 ...

(Leviticus 25:44-46). This same Bible gives laws on the punishment of
slaves. "When a man strikes his slave with a rod so hard that the slave
