For the same reason that if you and 3 of your friends all watched the same movie, you’d each remember different parts in differing ways. This does not make your 4 accounts of the movie contradictory.

Likewise, the 4 gospel accounts of Christ’s life each mention different things. This does not put them in opposition with each other, it merely gives 4 different points of view. The end result? Christ still died, completing his earthly mission of atonement for sinners. Of which you and I both are.

I commend your earthly efforts, but other haters of God have tried harder than you and still failed. Regardless of how you try to come up with increasingly clever “gotcha!” moments, you are still ignoring the hard truth. You are a sinner, and if you die in your sins you will face God’s righteous judgment. If you are without Christ’s atonement, you will be guilty of violating God’s law and punished in hell for eternity. If you are in Christ, if you can stand before God in the righteousness of Christ, you will spend eternity in the presence of God, glorifying him forever.

The word of the Lord endures forever.

You have a lot of nerve calling me a "hater of God". Nothing could be farther from the truth. I just have a problem with biblical "literalists" who pick and choose just what parts of the bible they want to take literally and what parts they want to interpret.

You have no right to call me a "hater of God". Judge not lest ye be judged - whatever measure you use to judge me will be used to judge you.
