A graphical representation of the contradictions in the bible. Each red line links 2 contradicting statements.
WILL ALWAYS REBLOG.
WOAH
Word.
Oh, that’s funny. Looks a lot like Chris Harrison’s diagram of Bible cross-references. And strangely, when you click on the source, the image of the Bible contradictions is actually different. How peculiar.
personally i think the bible was divinely inspired, but still not above the ability of men to taint it, with biases and even straight inaccuracies. that being said, half the questions on the source are theological ones people have been debating forever “2. Was Abraham justified by faith or by works?” and have answers (in this case, there are those who say he is justified by faith but his works are a natural expression of his faith, and no works is a symptom of a man not having true faith; alternatively there are those that say he is justified through works, but his faith is the inspiration for it, and thus both justify it, but the writer of each book was emphasizing a different aspect at the time)
and at least the three random ones i looked up are complete crap; for example: 25. Was David alone when asking for the holy bread at Nob? sam 21:1 ≠ mat 12:3-4. samuel 21:1 says he is there alone asking for bread… but for his men, and matthew 12:4 says “ He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests.” as in, he entered to get bread for his men, left, and he and his men ate.
having gotten by through 10+ years of schooling with the least amount of studying required to get A’s, i’m at a complete loss for how to go about performing said act of studying to prepare for my two AP exams and three SAT II tests in May and June (and i also spent my 3/4 of my spring break on the internet)
which means i’m probably going to do worse than the people who aren’t half as lazy as me and actually know how to study HAHHAHAA
coincidentally, you would be surprised to find out how little these exams matter - from an average asian student’s perspective at least. colleges do not see the actual exam scores when you apply; further, most upper to mid-upper tier colleges take the exam scores… for credits. that is, you get “junior standing” or “sophomore standing” but you only actually get to skip two or so GE classes (i believe both are calculus.) thus the difference between 4’s and 5’s (which is the only thing most asians get) do not really matter. getting “junior standing” only lets you register for classes slightly earlier. and since most everyone has junior standing at these upper to mid-upper tier colleges anyway, the only real pressure is for you to not get a 3 or worse. SAT II’s… eh no comment.
edit: actually usc asks for self reported, but eff those guys
My face when I see the AP World Exam Prep Assignment:
I remember this assignment because it was stupid and didn’t help at all. el oh els.

3/29, just you and a bunch of us who applied to ivies and berkeley now. USC, no one cares about you and your super late snail mail decisions.
“Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.”
Ah yes, having already been accepted, I decided to finally research the six colleges at UCSD; Warren is unofficially the engineering college (my planned major), which I randomly ranked first and received. It’s better to be lucky than prepared =D
