Heaven wars? sounds cool, and would make a pucca movie.

I'll use my light saber to slice gods head off.

If there were only TWO people in the beginning (Adam and Eve)...
Guess who their boys were "doing the nasty" with, especially as no DAUGHTERS of Adam and Eve are mentioned Shocked

Incest. Rape. Pedophilia. Murder. Dead bodies coming to life... Horror-movie monsters...
And people want their kids reading THIS book
(The Bible!) in SCHOOL?
Move over, Hollywood...

It's a fairy tale, there's magic talking serpents, forbidden fruits, genes that allow for massive amounts of incestuous inbreeding..

Why try to find contradiction among such things?

..What I have a problem with, is two people do something wrong, acting only as they were created to, and then everyone has to pay for it, even though they weren't even born yet?

Seriously, people.. I know we're all suppose to be all.. "respectful" of each other's beliefs, but..

...c'mon...

Right on, Spooky.

Chumley, Nje:
We have to remember that the Bible was written a long time ago by ordinary people. Before the days of biology and quantum physics, men had to put these stories in words that were simple and easy to understand because their minds were unable to comprehend what they saw and heard. That's why the stories seem so much like a "fairytale" at times. While God was the author, men were his writing instrument. And while the details may seem fuzzy, the main idea (or truth) shines through.

People have NEVER been so dumb, that they need
magical "fairy tales" to get a point across. (Look at the Greeks and Romans, or even the Vedas - much of their literature is pretty much to-the-point.)
I think that a REAL "God" would have done better than to "express his wishes" or "impart his lessons" through a bunch of impossible, silly, magical hooga-booga. Or if "he" wanted to be SYMBOLIC, I think there's better ways "he" could have got "his" word out to the "unwashed masses" - no matter HOW ignorant they might be.
The whole thing bears the unmistakable stamp of PRIESTCRAFT, not the authorship of any "God" - and the intellectual contempt those priests had for the "common folk" is evident in the Genesis stories (and the rest of the supernatural mumbo-jumbo in the Bible as well, like Balaam and his magical talking mule, or trumpets blowing down the walls of Jericho in John Ashcroft's favorite Bible book, Joshua.)

Deanna, I heard two children talking in the lunch line yesterday:
Girl: I am your sister.
Boy: No you're not.
Girl: In the eyes of God, I am!
Boy: *confused look*
Girl: In the eyes of God, we are all brothers and sisters.

They must have been about 8 or 9..
I remember saying similar things as a child too..makes you wonder where that comes from, at least in my case because my parents were not religious and did not take us to church or even talk about "God"..

The bilbe was NOT written by ordinary people it was written by priests and disciples whose ONLY interests were to CONTROL people and keep POWER.

The bible contains many horror tales such as rape, incest amongst many other things so how can you use it as a moral guide.

It's stupid to use symbolism. It's pointless to do it.
I've never heard a decent excuse for it as of yet..
If there's any such thing as a "divine" being, maybe they'd have half a clue as how to effectively express their messages without resorting to the hopeless abstractness of symbolism..
