Why do the majority christians ignore the bible and claim it's flawless?

Nothing made my humans can ever be flawless, so yes, the Bible does have flaws.

No, I don't think that. For one thing, the Bible isn't a manifesto; it's more of an argument. That is, it's a selection of writings by various people, over about a thousand years, in two languages (plus a smattering of a third), many of whom were inspired to write because they wanted to argue with something else in the Bible.

On the other hand, taking bits out of context has its flaws, too. Let's take a look at your examples: "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, she must be silent." This was written by some imitator of Paul, a generation or two after him, trying to piggyback on his reputation.

Paul himself worked with a pair of Christian missionaries who were husband and wife, and held the wife, Priscilla, in high esteem as a teacher. "This is what the Lord Almighty says ... 'Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.' " If you read that whole story, you'll notice something very odd.

The point of the story is Saul's disobedience, and Saul's disobedience is a matter of taking prisoners and loot when he was told not to do so. The whole genocide angle is a sidetrack. It seems clear to me that someone rewrote that story later, and added the genocide.

(Actually, they seem to have turned the Amalekites into a group targeted for genocide, throughout multiple books of the Bible--and the odd thing is that although the genocide was supposedly complete, Amalekites keep cropping up afterward.) My conclusion is that Amalekites were converted to the Bible equivalent of a comic-book supervillain who always seems to be killed off, and yet turns out to have survived, to be the villain in some sequel. That conversion involved messing with this particular story, and screwing it up. “Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.”

Go back and read ALL of Ephesians 5. And notice that husbands are supposed to submit themselves to their wives, also. The sentence before that one is, "Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ."

EVERYBODY was supposed to be serving everyone else's interests. “Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.” Slavery was an institution thousands of years old, and anyone who tried to eliminate it in the ancient Middle East or the Roman Empire would have been forced to make his entire religion about opposing slavery.

It was only after Christianity was dominant enough to afford to start internal arguments about social movements that attempts to abolish slavery were possible. That didn't happen until after the fall of Rome and the Crusades. It took a while even then, because slavery was not widely practiced in Christian areas until the economic changes that led to enslavement of Africans.

Those involved the discovery and exploitation of the Western Hemisphere. The Bible isn't about ending slavery as such, but it is unwavering in the view that slavery is not a good thing. The early material is all about putting restrictions on the practice.

The later material, such as this quote, is about the obvious fact that Christianity was not fundamentally a revolt against society. Yet, if you check out the letter to Philemon, you'll find Paul doing the most effective thing he can think of to undermine slavery: pointing out that slaves and masters who are both Christian, even if the slave has stolen from his master and run away before his conversion, are to deal with each other on a basis of Christian brotherhood, not on the basis of their legal status. When it came time to make slavery illegal, the people who drove that movement were Bible readers: Quakers, Methodists, Anglicans.

That's not a coincidence. The Bible is not by any means perfect. But you'll get an even worse impression of it, and a false one, if you pick bits out of context.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
