    All the verses that condone slavery, misogyny, and genocide.  A lot in the OT, not as many in the NT.

    Easy. The first commandment. Thou shall have no other god before me. It shows how selfish god is.

    I constantly struggle with my prejudice against talking snakes (Gen. 3:4–5 and 3:22).

    While I'm certainly no atheist, the Bible is infallible when properly interpreted.

    All those that support genocide, such as:

    Deuteronomy 2:34-35 --

    "At that time we captured all his towns, and in each town we utterly destroyed men, women, and children. We left not a single survivor. Only the livestock we kept as spoil for ourselves, as well as the plunder of the towns that we had captured."

    Deuteronomy 20:16-17 -- 

    "As for the towns of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, you must not let anything that breathes remain alive. You shall annihilate them—the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites—just as the Lord your God has commanded."

    Joshua 10:40 -- 

    "So Joshua defeated the whole land, the hill country and the Negeb and the lowland and the slopes, and all their kings; he left no one remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel commanded."

    Joshua 11:11, 14

    "And they put to the sword all who were in it, utterly destroying them; there was no one left who breathed, and he burned Hazor with fire. ... All the spoil of these towns, and the livestock, the Israelites took for their booty; but all the people they struck down with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, and they did not leave any who breathed."

    John 1:1.  It doesn't even make any sense.  Christians include Genesis in their Bibles, which already claims to say what happened in the beginning.

    In the beginning  there was God, and God was with the Blorp, and God was the Blorp.

    So, what is "the Blorp".  Well, it says right there that God was the Blorp.  Oh, so if God was the Blorp it should say:

    In the beginning, there was God, and God was with God, and God was God.

    Beating a slave to an inch of their life, not too mention the acceptance of slavery in both the OT and NT. 

    Oh it was written for people of the time, then why do you still subscribe to it today.
