for those that do not read threads and lack comprehension blah blah blah talking snake and adam and eve - we all descended from them two right? so therefore we are the product of incest.

allow me to put your old testament into perspective here https://imgur.com/a/em3ee3x

oh, and isnt hate speech, its my review of a fictional book. get over it.

just another thought here, maybe this god you speak of isnt perfect, as his creations arent perfect, to err is to be human, so what? its our fault that he kinda messed up?! repent, or something.

All this bickering. For shame. Getting mad at another beliefs is like getting mad at the person in front of you at McDonald's for not ordering what you want.
Sam I too see no god or thinking power to the universe. I have accepted physics as the truth in my heart. But one must always remember Quantum probability says " Though highly improbable , no thing is impossible."
Lung1954. Did not the profit Mohamed say "It is a sin to insult another religion?" Or are you wiser than he?

there is only one thing, at this place in time i would consider a god, not personified but more so the combined past present future of everything and anything in this multiverse.

If I’m not mistaken Adam and Eve are not brother and sister so we’re not a product of incest.

think pun deeper. who did the offspring mate with?

eve was made from adams genetic rib but i digress.

God created Eve as He created Adam. So they are not brother and sister.
The book of Genesis mentions three of Adam and Eve's children: Cain, Abel and Seth. But geneticists, by tracing the DNA patterns found in people throughout the world, have now identified lineages descended from 10 sons of a genetic Adam and 18 daughters of Eve.

The Bible says: "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."

humans are flawed therefore your god is flawed if he made us in his own image.

Humans are flawed because they disobeyed God when he told them not to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge and after that well the rest is history.

When we die we live again. Our souls blend with the cosmos and because it has developed a personality during its existence on earth, we will live again.

yeah he made everything though, even that talking snake. seriously.. people believe all of this nonsense.

Okay Sam this is a “General Religion chat” forum so if you don’t believe in “all this nonsense” then please don’t criticize those who do.

i am not criticizing you, don't take it personal okay?

i'm just reviewing snippets from a fictional book.

The word “nonsense” is a criticizing word to all who believe. The Bible isn’t totally fictional either as archeology can prove some of those events as well as places where they took place. The Dead Sea Scrolls are a good example of that. We all have beliefs we take to heart that are either Biblical or worldly and sometimes both because I know I do so you can believe what you want no matter where you read it or heard it from so on the behalf of those who do believe please don’t put us down because we haven’t yours,

Funny how you mention archaeology - divine conception happened what a few/ what five thousand years ago yet there are fossils of dinosaurs dating back millions of years..

Jesus has a tomb, where are his bones?! There is no proof of him besides some stories that were passed around a few decades after his supposed death.

if this god of yours is a god why did he have to impregnate a married women with his seed, to give birth to some yahoo that got nailed by a few romans - thats a bit dramatic dont you think?!

Well for starters I believe the Earth is at least a millions years old and then some and went through one extension after another until we ended up with what we got now so not all of us believe that the Earth is only 10,000 or less years old. Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected so if we believe in him we would have eternal life. Mary wasn’t married to Joseph when she was pregnant Jesus, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, at first but they were engaged. Joseph was told by an Angel to not be afraid to take Mary as his wife for she is carrying the child of the Most High. Jesus’s birth and death was prophesied as far back as the Old Testament, the book of Isaiah is one such book. Since you said that the Bible is a fictional book then why is it with the books titled under “Religion”? Do you believe all religions and religious books are fictional? To my knowledge the Bible has been a best selling book and published in almost all known languages.

Yes - i'm an Atheist, i believe in one less god than most.
