Atheists search for every tiny contradiction, to get an argument in possible discussion.

I know that my interest in the historical aspects of religious teachings (mostly christianity) comes from there, though not to argue anything. I gave that up a few years ago. Now it's just curiosity about a thing that has too much influence over our lives. Still got 13/15. I'm sure I know more about what can be learned from Wikipedia about the bible than most Sunday-church-going christians. But hey, I also know more about the study of evolution than most people because I once had a roommate who believed that the earth was 5000 years old (we had very interesting debates all summer).

Get god out of US politics, people.

Lord's name and politics should never come hand in hand.

But, unfortunately, the more ogranized and numerous the religion, the less a spiritual purpose it serves and more a political agenda. No religion is free of this thirst of power, unfortunately.
