Edited by Ogma: Destroyer of Worlds: 10/28/2015 8:11:39 PMIf the devil punishes the sinners, why is he considered evil? Shouldn't he be god's right hand man since he's punishing the wicked? Or even still, if he is evil, wouldn't he welcome his fellow heathens with open arms instead of torturing them? It really does make no sense. I personally think that any belief that has someone putting the wants of their god over other human beings is in fact stupid. It's a toxic mentality I wish we could let go of.

Yes, it's very stupid. The Bible has way too many contradictions in it.
-
Yes it is. Only the true master race worships the owl and burns care every year to demonstrate the -blam!-s they give about anybody else.
-
cpme on! I make a post on how STUPID these posts are, and here come the atheists, kicking and screaming about religion!
-
You're stupid for being uneducated on the subject and trying to start an argument about it.
-
You are violating the code of conduct in directly

Edited by chill: 10/28/2015 11:24:32 PMNo. You tried to simplify it and it didn't work. God punished the first man and woman because they disobeyed him. His own creation did not acknowledge his command. They thus fell from Grace and separated themselves from their Creator through disobedience. Not just eating a fruit the way you say it. God provides a chance of redemption through himself in the form of his Son, Jesus. Why did God disallow eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge? Not sure we don't have the answers to every detail. Some scholars believe it led to loss of innocence. Well why then did God have that tree in the garden? Why was the devil allowed in the garden? Perhaps it was to test the resolve of his creation, first man and woman? Or maybe not. We can keep going on but these questions won't ever have answers and it is not critical to the rest of the faith.

Edited by Nior of the shadow gang: 10/28/2015 9:07:55 PMYou forgot the part where eating from the tree of knowledge pulled Adam and Eve outta there blissful ignorance and were now equal to God and satan only missing eternal life. God Cursed Eve with menstruation God prevented Adam and Eve from passing On said knowledge to children. God Made Adam and Eve and first few dozens generations of children commit incest to populate earth with a added bonus of making sure the knowledge Adam and Eve had would be hard to understand even if they did manage to pass it on.

The reason Jesus was sent to earth to die because God would give anything to save us, even is son. It's much more complicated, but atheists are just criticizing the first thing they see. There's background to it.
-
Because it makes a pretty cool story! Duh!

Is this written by Bernie Stalin?
-
Like, 90% of it is stupid, yeah. There's a couple good lessons and morals buried in there, but then again those thing aren't unique to Christianity and is basic human decency.
-
First of all, we don't know if it was a fruit. It was probably the knowledge of good and evil. It was likely sex that they partook in. Second, God set us here with a free will. He gave us that not wanting to make us follow Him and do everything He says, but to follow Him because we want to.

Well when you talk about it like that then yea it sounds stupid

-
Well talk about Buddhism and crap like that but not what America was built on
-
You have to read that part of genesis like ancient Hebrew poetry, cause it is, you can't take it literally. And Jesus coming down as a man is much more complicated than that. As far as the reasoning behind it goes.
