few questions
dinosaurs where are they?
noah put every single species on a ship male and female how?
god and God whats up? Mentions plenty of times the "we" created man in "our" image and likeness who is we?
no number of magi was given in bible yet world religion claims 3.
Easter bunny commercial spin off?
Same as Jesuses birthday never mentioned in bible. Christmas madeup?
Adam and Eve produce children who participate in insest? no other people were created?
God made heavens and earth including the devil and all the death and suffering etc. Because it all comes with creation.
Why does god require our love and if we dont love him back he gona smite us for eternity? Sadistic bastard isnt he?
speaking of he who the came up with a he? why not a she?
No one seen god why presume gender...
why do ppl fight in the name of god?
man there is soo much more i dont even have time to type it all out.
Honestly religion doesnt matter if its Christian/Muslim/Hindu or w/e is a toxic cancer that has divided ppl and has seperated
people from god. Made violent non self thinking close minded seperatists the world has ever known.
If only ppl dont make god into a religious doctrine i am cool with that.
dinosaurs were giant lizards Lol. but really if you believe in a God who can't create living things then it's possible the same God to create a bunch of bones and stars to show off. I still don't argue the 10000 year earth vs 4billion or whatever because we weren't there.
There is a running explanation that he took kinds of animals not each. so he took 2 cat like animals and 2 dog like animals. as far as trying to support them in a wooden boat that wouldn't break apart. . it was designed by God so. ...I find it funny that people attack the Noah story and don't try to attack things like the sun stopping for a day, the waters of the river parting or why we can't find the garden of eden.

God as a male was probably due to the patriarchal society. woman are meant to be nurtures. They store a placenta in their womb, feed it, give birth to it , and breastfeed it. I guess the patriarchal society came around because guys didn't have to go through this process and so they could protect and take cars of the women. Now God has both protecting and nurturing attributes in the Bible. People try using words we understand such as father to explain a unique relationship between God and man. I think God is both, not in the transexual since, but more in the fact that he is complete without any partner...It's like trying to describe a sex of a rock. .. rocks don't have sex so it's silly trying to define a gender.
"We" is the royal we used throughout ancient times. Kings commonly used this term. another explanation of We is God being the trinity.
I agree to the magi thing lol. It was more likely many more. 3 is used due to the 3 gifts. furthermore the Magi wouldn't have been at the birth of jesus but would more likely find him as a toddler in Egypt.
ignoring the easter bunny comment Lol
dec 25 is based off a pagan holiday for the sun I believe. I think it's celtic but I'm sure someone can correct me. honestly we don't know Jesus's birthdate despite the fact we know so many details about it. we think it's likely in the spring or fall do to the shepherds. furthermore joseph and Mary were kind of running for their lives. .. they just traveled a long way and then were forced to flee the country. . sorry they didn't keep track well lol.
yes incest was common at that time but o don't believe adam and eve were the only people created. It talks about how Cain was sent out after killing his brother. I think the Adam and eve story is a zoom into the lives of the 2 first humans he was going to build a tribe that lead to Jesus's birth. I think there were other tribes built as well.
God gave us free will. I know you here this a lot but there are 2 sides to this coin. The free will to do what we want and the free will of the consequences of those actions. If God forced us to do actions but allowed the consequences to happen whatever. .. it's like a pachinko machine and that's not freewill. If God allowed us to do whatever and then everyone ended up in heaven. .. that's also not freewill. That's like a funnel leading water. .. so we need both the free will to do what we want as well as to recieve the consequences. furthermore God created you to be in relationship with him. If he let you enjoy other things more then that relationship then it's irresponsible on his part. It's like a parent letting a child eat only candy until the kid died.
why do people fight in the name of God... that's tough and try to read this fully. The jews of the old testament did it because God was trying to guide them to the promise land. The road involved killing numerous people who had larger armies, bigger Walls, but the big kicker was their gods. God told them through the prophets that they shouldn't let them live because they would cause them to stumble later. It's much like a Christian woman marrying a drunker and expecting him to change. .. she will more they likely get worn out and find herself in a bad situation. Now God told the jews that it was not because of their goodness that they were conquering but because he wanted to prepare them for the messiah, Jesus. Now that jesus has come I don't believe their is any reason for Christians to be in a holy war. I do support the need of christians to stand against genicide and the killing of innocents. I know it's a rough topic and I agree it's hard for even me to understand.
I agree most religious people drive people away from God. It talks about that a lot in the new testament. Up to hearing more questions from you if you want.
