Is it because there are contradictions in the Bible?
"The Bible is an unreliable authority because it contains numerous contradictions. Logically, if two statements are contradictory, at least one of them is false. The biblical contradictions therefore prove that the book has many false statements and is not infallible." - from the American Humanists web site
There is no good reason to reject the Bible. Every objection, contradiction and question has been answered hundreds of times... and in many cases they were answered well over a 1000 years ago. But humanists refuse to even consider that their questions have been answered, and continually bring up the same old "contradictions" over and over.
The issue is not one of demonstrating the Bible is reliable. That's been done many times. The issue is a heart issue.
Those who reject the Bible are not doing so for any rational reason. They simply do so because they don't want it to be true. They don't want to be accountable to God. The humanist web page we're looking at isn't there to convince others the Bible isn't reliable, but to give comfort to atheists who don't want anyone to disturb their delusion. As scripture says, they are willingly blind, so they don't even question the flimsy asccusations and unsubstantiated claims on the web page we are examining.
