Bible may just be a celebrated piece of junk: too much inconsistencies

My duty as a political philosopher is not only to ask questions but to provide answers as well. Please venture through this article and tell what you think.

There are times when I ask myself as to how bible got the kind of fame that it enjoys yet it seems to breath lies wherever it goes. Think of Joshua 10 verse 12-14. It says Joshua stopped the sun in the village of Gibeon and Moon in the village of Ajalon. How on earth can one stop something that does not move? Categorically  our modern science says it is the earth that moves around these celestial bodies not the other way round. I believe the deceivers or kingpins behind the bible never anticipated that science will one day be so advance.

Again if you look at Genesis 4 verse 15 just after Cain slain his brother, it says god stated unequivocally that one who kills or hurt Cain will be punished seven times more. Tell, who was going to hurt or kill him other than his mother or father? Could it be that there were other people somewhere? Will it be possible that Adam was not a first person to be created? Well if one continues to verse 16 of the same chapter it says Cain moved to a village east of Aden where he married and had Enock his son. This is just another cloud fused with a lot of hubbub/rubbish. His father is a first man to be created, second is his mother and, he and his brother the third now where he gets a wife? May be, to accommodate this rather very flabby story, he may have married his sister. However to accommodate this in this direction may mean accepting that we are a product, as a human race, of incest. Now I cannot accept that demeaning direction

Now let me move to Genesis 1 verse 27 , believe me this is an interesting stuff. This verse state ardently that god created man and a woman concurrently in his image. But chapter 2 verse 18 says he realized that it was not right for Adam to be alone so he created Eve from Adam's rib. This may be revealing of a mindset of a person writing the bible. It was written by a man who wanted to enforce gender imbalance and patriarch.  He realized later that if he stays with the first verse he would make men and women equal so he had to improvise to accommodate himself as a superior figure to a woman.

To give a balance view, let me say sheepishly, that the bible is a true account of how things came to be being. How come it is time bound, surely if it was commissioned by God it would not have said Joshua stopped the sun and the moon. I presume God is not time bound he knows what would happen in hundreds of years to come. Purely this error indicates that bible is a human invention. It was invented by people who structurally knew what they were doing. Put haphazardly, bible is about stealing, dismemberment,  prowling and brutal killing of innocent people by greed driven people. It is not about God. It is about certain group of people who lied to the rest by choosing to call themselves as chosen. This is a bizarre low level of morality. Bible is not only about greed but also cocooned inside it is an extreme barbarism and savage(sm).

Certainly God I believe in can't be all that. Bible is an insult to races who are not directly mentioned in it. If you look at Luke chapter 3 verse 23 to 37 it concisely trace Jesus back to Adam. What does that tell one who is a pure black and African: surely it says he was not created.

In conclusion, in Job chapter 1 verse 6-20 it shows how insulting the bible is to God. This chapter portrays God as a stupid god. It says sometimes devil collaborate with God to tempt and go to an extent to even kill people. In verse 6 God ask devil where he has been. He replies by saying "from wandering". God immediately out of the blue says "are you aware of my good son/servant Job?" He went on to say I can't find anyone so loyal and righteous than him. Devil says 'is is because you protect him that is why he is so loyal but if you can take his possessions he will turn away from you'. Then it continues to say God made a pact with the devil. They agreed that devil can do anything to Job on condition that he does not touch his soul. As a result of that pact Job lost his sons, his stock (cattle, sheep, horses etc). Tell me what kind of God who will allow such things to happen? It means God is a partner to pain and tribulations we go through everyday.

God do exist but it is not the one in the bible. Behind a fancy BMW there is a designer, so is a creator behind humans but we need to be a little critical to find him.
