Agnostic here, not trying to convert anyone,

Someone in one of my other answers said something that provoked a little thought in my head (isn't that awesome!) So I have a Bible at home that has a concordance that talks about how in Revelation the 7 churches are representative of 7 time periods, the first church written about was first century, second church aftr the fall of the temple until rome accepted it, third the medival, fourth the prodestant reformation, etc.

So this answer in another question earlier said Adam and Eve represent the first church, (assumption by me is he meant the first time era of God-believers).

As a believer in evolution and these things I see the first humans as portrayed as cavemen, and a historical first church as a priest that goes up a building to sacrafice to a sun god.

So, the Adam and Eve story representing a first "true God" church, what were their lives like, etc.

Asking for peoples interpretation of a non literal Adam and Eve, thanks

I have a great idea for a new religion. I'm going to copy parts from the Bible and the Koran and correct certain things. I'll point to mistakes in both and allow for the possibility of future prophets. I'll make lots of perks for both men AND women, and allow everyone to have a ham & sausage breakfast biscuit from McDonald's. Who's with me?

On the first side it has a shield with a cross inside. The ends of the cross turn back(double hooks). Also the shield has a diagonal design in black and white behind the cross. The thread is pink, but it could have been discolored as it is very old.

i always wonder why the limo driver always goes around the limousine from the rear side before he opens the door, he never goes around the front side of vehicle? Is this kind of a fancy expensive etiquette manner, or something?
It is not quicker way, it is the same amount of steps

I just asked someone why the "Pagan/agnostic" combination (I'm in one) seems so common, and then I realized, I had a question to ask.

If you're of the same religion, how did you meet?

If you're different religions, how do you make that work?

Prefer answers from Pagans and those who love us; will report anything that tastes like haterade.

Or was it just Leviticus and Paul? I remember Christ saying something about sexual immorality, but that is not homosexuality. That is pedophillia, adultery, necrophellia, bestiality... etc.
If you say yes, I would like a chapter and verse.

I see the men getting all kinds of things like virgins and slave boys and non-alcoholic wine, but what would I get for being a good little Mooslima and doing everything that Mohammad says to?

I have read MANY pages of questions on why ALL christians judge, and hate non belivers. All of christians do this.... Hummm I dont know all non belivers, nor do I generlize in my questions or observents. We as christians do not pratice this. I m sure a few do....Thats not right...so, my question is why do non-believers condem us all? We are individuals

My wife's biological half sister is a lesbian in a married relationship (I'm not going to say committed because they are married in my eyes). My mother in law once said that while her daughter in law was born gay, her daughter had turned gay.
Many months later, my mother in law said that her daughter has been sexually abused as a child and had many bad experiences with men.
If this was your partner would you have any doubts?
