Theological contradictions
-
Free will
How can a god be almighty, if he gives his creatures free will? How can a hypothetical god claim his creatures to be guilty of their acts, when he (or she) knew beforehand every single consequence of his creation?
-
Evil
It is said, that god didn't create evil. Lucifer is supposed to be the source of evil. But lucifer is also said to be an angel who rebelled against the christian god. If christian god is supposed to be the creator of everything, then he should have known that lucifer would do evil, when he created him. In case that lucifer was given free will, see contradiction #1.

Bible and equivalent sources
The bible and similar writings are often proved to be dictated by god, by saying that they contain predictions of the future.
- Prediction is not a proof for god's authorship.
e.g.: Scientific laws make predictions possible, but nobody would see in this fact a proof for god's inspiration on a scientist.
- The way in which this writings are interpreted in order to claim a prediction is outrageous.
Making such an exaggerated use of interpretation would prove every text to contain such predictions. Take the French author Jules Verne as an example. He wrote so many science fiction novels, that several of his visions came true. The flight to the moon, for example. According to this ill criterion, Jules Verne's "Around The World In 80 Days" should also have been dictated by god.
