    David F:
    If someone tried to use the Gospels in court, the other lawyer
    would chew them up. There are at least two problems. One is
    that  the accounts are not always complementary,  where one
    sees part of something and someone else another  part of it
    but contradictory.  For instance, there can be only one answer to
    the question "what were Jesus' last words?"  He could not have
    spoken  his last words  and later speak some more last words.

    Which of the four different  accounts of the writing on the cross
    piece is the true one?  When did Jesus die? Who  was the first to
    see him after he arose? This is another case where you can't have
    differing answers. There could not have been a first sighting and
    then later another first sighting.

    So we have confusion about what is supposed to be the most
    important event in human history, upon which we are supposed
    to stake our lives now and in a life to come?

    The second problem with STB's musings is that the authors did
    not write these alone. God  inspired them.  They are not like any
    other written documents, ever.  God could easily get the story
    right,  with no errors due to sorrowful or traumatized followers.

Wait a second here.  How could God(Jesus) have inspired the supposed gospel 
writers in what they saw if he was dead, and how does a god go about killing 
itself?  Now I've just gone and totally confused myself, does this mean the 
bible has errors in it?
