If god give "free-willy" to Adam and Eve, that means god wanted Adam and Eve not to act perfect because only god is perfect and only god knows how to use "free-willy"

Quote:
Ananda said: "Friendship with what is lovely, association with what is lovely, intimacy with what is lovely--that is half of the holy life."

The Buddha responded: "Don't say that, Ananda. It's the whole not the half of the holy life. One so blessed with what is lovely will develop a right way of being, a thinking that no longer grasps at what is untrue, an aim that is concerned and ready, a contemplation that is unattached and free. Association with what is lovely is the whole of the holy life."

-Samyutta Nikaya


Peace and Love

And how did it effect you? If you don't know what it is you summoned you may summarize by taking about the events and happenings at that time and later.

Here we are worrying about a few animals that died in a "Freak accident" and people are dying. This made it on msn's front page alongside war photos. Was this article written as some kind of joke?

IF Jesus overturned the Old Testement, then why are Christians in such an uproar over the display of the 10 Commandments in public?

Also, did Jesus become an evolutionist? Because if we don't have to live under the Old Testement, and the basis for that six day non-evolution stuff is found in Genesis 1:26-27 and Genesis 2:7; then wouldn't we be free to learn about evolution?

I'm afraid this is preaching to the choir.

We have people have all colors/ethnicity on this planet. So, how did we get from one person all these ethnicities? Was it some sort of cellular evolution that created an excess of melanin in some people over others?

He punishes Adam and Eve for eating from the Tree of Knowledge.

He destroys the Tower of Babel when humans work together to build a great project. Then makes them unable to understand each other so that they can no longer share their knowledge.

Lucifer - the Light Bearer - becomes the symbol of evil.

This seems to be the trend throughout the Judeo-Christian tradition.

With a philosophy like that wouldn't it make it so much easier for the ruling elite of the religion to control people?

Don't ask too many questions, god doesn't like it!

Ok, hypothetically, if we go to a country that has God's Laws, God's morality, and I own slaves and I beat my slave but he lives and you wanted to punish me and I said: Exodus 21:20-21 (NKJV) “And if a man beats his male or female servant with a rod, so that he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished. 21 Notwithstanding, if he remains alive a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he is his property.

And I beat my slave but my slave lifes and I stop those who want to punish me by saying God's law in Exodus 21:20-21 permits me to do this,

Is this moral? Is this legitimate?

Someone in one of my questions yesterday asked do I see a lot of Christians owning slaves? Not with my eyes but I see on the news about a lot of sex slave trade going on around Earth right now, do you think the master beats the sex slave to within an inch of her life and then hides behind Exodus 21:20-21?

God Law, God's morality. Praise God?

You know, spend your whole life as a nasty puppy-eating heathen and then, just before you die, recant, repent and accept Jesus as your saviour. Would God buy that? If you were sincere?

Then, as a bonus question - just an hour later after you've died. If you're standing at the Pearly Gates saying, 'hey it looks like this God stuff was right all long', would it be too late _then_?

And why would that one hour make any difference?

I'm a believer and I know for a fact that there are some very intelligent non believers out there. I just wonder why there isn't more intelligent questions or answers on this site. I admit there are some religious zellots here that can be anoying, and rude coments to them is understandable.
