Religious Question

[dt3]

God created us in his image. Which would mean that we were created perfect. So, if we were created perfect, how would Satan have been able to tempt Eve???

where as he may have created us in his own image he also gave us free-will. temptation was sure to follow...

Well, its sort of debatable whether we have free will or not.

and besides who said god was perfect?

everythings debatable. but free-will to me means god gave us the choice to believe in him vs believing in him as an instict. temptation was provided to help us find our path.

I already addressed how there's no real choice in Christianity, I'm not going to state it again.

Well I believe in free will. Thats why I say "fuck Jesus"!!"!


Seriously, I dont think that but there really is no reason why I shouldnt say that is there?

Creating a likeness isn't the same as creating another being as yourself.

I could draw a picture of myself, but it wouldn't walk, talk, have a personality, think, comprehend, curse, drink, or smoke like I do. It would just be a 'copy' of my image.
