thankyou
You're hilarious... can't deal with being presented with an opinion that differs from your own and actually provides a logical basis for it. But that's typical of any of your threads.
You do realize how humorous your statement is? Where does the myth stop?
lol It's just that pretty much everyone believes the story of Adam and Eve is a myth. Don't they?
I wouldn't have said anything if the discussion were about whether it was moral for God to kill Uzzah for touching the Ark or spy on Onan and Tamar having sex, etc. Since some people believe these stories are history. But debating the morality of God based on Adam and Eve was just too much for me.
I'm with you though. I think it's all myth. But myth can be good.

Gays and women that have been oppressed for 3,000 years because of this myth think it is a real good one.

"Whoever imagines himself a favorite with God,
holds other people in contempt.
Whenever a man believes that he has the exact truth from God,
there is in that man no spirit of compromise.
He has not the modesty born of the imperfections of human nature;
he has the arrogance of theological certainty and the tyranny born of ignorant assurance.
Believing himself to be the slave of God,
he imitates his master,
and of all tyrants,
the worst is a slave in power."
--Robert Ingersoll
Not entirely certain what that has to do with the price of tea in China. I've never claimed to know everything, I merely pointed out the logical fallacies in your assertion.
Holy Doh! IF a man was going to fuck a man, a woman rub with a woman, what was the fun behind creation of humans??
Man and women were created for Love and Procreation, not for the former seeking any 'hole' or the latter vie for any stick to satisfy their instinct or lust!! Isn't that a kinda mutiny from Natural law...the Law of God!!
I see your point but gays and women have been oppressed by bad men. Their myths are just a glimpse into their psyche.
The Adam and Eve myth was an attempt by ancient Hebrews to explain how they got here and why they lived in a male dominated society. The myth is also a kind of coming of age where Adam and Eve lose their innocence and enter the real world.
Were the ancient Hebrews an oppressive people? Absolutely, but we should remember they lived in a more barbaric age. We are more enlightened today. To whom much is given much is required.

Whoever he was, if he was a man of faith in Jesus and the veneration of life and doing to your neighbor and children as yourself, he would have told God where to go.

For once there's something that I can agree with you on... I don't want to be lumped in with the kind of bigotry that has been expressed around here.

Seriously... your attitude of arrogance is really quite pathetic and childish. I have certain beliefs and you have your own. Just because I don't agree with your doesn't make me stupid as you just implied. You're a sad pathetic little man.
This is his arrogance, he expects everyone to believe him, when questioned he can't answer other than to insult and accuse other people on this board. Sounds like he can't take being sussed out big time
Did you guys miss the laughing man? It was a joke. If anyone was being insulted it was maz and he took it in stride.
I haven't paid much attention. Gia may have insulted you in other posts. But why is it okay for you to insult maz and it's not okay for gia to insult you?
