My favorite Biblical contradiction is the two different accounts
of the death of Judas.  In the gospels it is recorded that he gave
the money back to the priests, but then hanged himself.  In the first
part of Acts it is stated that he used the money to buy a field, but
he fell headlong in it and burst apart (macabre!).  I've presented this
contradiction to several Christians of the fundamentalist ilk, but have
never received a satisfactory answer.  They could only manage a weak
apology that Judas hanged himself, but after a while the rope broke
and his body tumbled into the field and burst apart.  Ye gods...
