So what's the difference between talking to an your imaginary friend who lives in your hair dryer and praying to a god?
Why are there two creation stories? Did the women dump the man in genesis 1 so god had to try again with Adam and Eve?
There's two creation stories? Shows how much I know about my family's religion
Also, I used to have, like, 64 imaginary friends, you argument with that one's kinda invalid
btw, if you look into what it says in the Bible, God's a cruel and manipulative b*st*rd
"When you go to Heaven, every day will be filled with singing God's praises"
"If you're gay, you're going straight to Hell, even though God made you that way"
"Women were an afterthought and God made them have excruciating pain for no reason"
"Adam and Eve ate an apple, so God lobbed 'em out of Eden and made sure they'd never get back by placing an angel of fire there"
Also, did you notice that women are hardly ever mentioned in the Bible? The first mentioned after Eve is Noah's wife. The first to be named after Eve is Daphne, who was a traveler or something to do with Abraham. She was sold off to some Non-Jews because they wanted her for sexytime but the Jew said "You need to become Jews first", and so they did, and got sexytime with Daphne into the bargain (admittedly the entire clan was killed during the night). The first after Eve to have a speaking role is Rebekah, wife of Isaac.
Overall, the Bible teaches you to exploit and manipulate women like your tools, selling them off like cattle.
Also, Eve had Cain, Abel and Seth. Even with incest, where's the girl for them to sexytime with? Did they sexytime with Eve or something? If so... ew, things get complicated.
And then there's the problem about ages - people in the past lived shorter lives, not longer ones. However, it was claimed that Adam lived for NINE HUNDRED AND THIRTY YEARS. The oldest man recorded in the Bible, Jared, was 972 when he finally carked it. How does that make sense?
Sure, some stuff from the Bible matches up (There was an eight-spoked wheel found in the Red Sea long long long ago, presumably from the carriage that the Pharoh rode back in Moses' time, a man with the name Jesus was crucified at Calvary), but most of it's just superstitious stuff.
...you know writing was a scarce art, even in 1550AD, right? I would imagine it didn't exist back in Biblical times.
Also, you don't EVER make a house out of gold. That is one of the most stupid things to do ever, yet there's a book in the Bible where the temple collapses and people use the gold to build their houses
Uh, yeah, sorry about that, I just had a little rant...........
Anyone wanna see a cute picture?
