A Biblical friend of mine pointed me to this when I wasn't buying his "Bible is always right" theory, to show me that the Bible, indeed, is always right:
"THE ATHEIST'S COMPLAINT:Is divorce ever permissible? Different texts seem to say different things:
divorce is never permissible (Mk 10:11; Lk 16:18)
only when the wife is unfaithful (Mt 5:32; 19:9)
when the 'unbelieving' partner chooses to leave (1 Cor 7:15)
when the husband is displeased with his wife (Deut 24:1-2)
Is there a contradiction?
RESPONSE:The last text listed above is from a different covenant than the other texts. If the Law of Moses says one thing, and the Gospel of Christ says another,
there is no contradiction."
Lovely.

This is my problem with religion. It ignores what is right in front of its face. There is a glaring contradiction, and it's ignored because the alternative is that the bible must be wrong. Lovely isn't the word I'd choose for it.
