Agnostic, not wanting to convert anyone. Just find the following interesting from Christian mythology.
Genesis 3:8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. (New King James Version)
Consider that the "fig leave" ie "man's way".
Now read this:
Genesis 3:21 Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed them. (New King James Version)
So God made tunics of skin, so they didn't have to hide, that means an innocent animal was slaughtered. In Judeo-Christian mythology "God's Way" is the shedding of innocent blood, including the legendary Jesus.
So, in the story of Adam and Eve, do you believe as I do, that the God forgave the Adam and the Eve. There might have been a punishment yes, but there was a forgiveness.
What shocks me is the number of fundamentalist Christians who don't believe this.
