Is this accurate? Mankind started in a magic garden with an apple tree of sin in it. Human incestually reproduced and pissed off god, so he flooded the world while somone built a boat and put 1 of every animal on it. The dinosaurs as we know them are a lie, but giants walked the earth and airplanes existed thousands of years ago. Then a virgin had a kid who was killed and came back to life. Sometime around then a group of people tried to build a tower to heaven which upset god, who in turn, tore down the tower and made everyone in the world instantly forget their languange and knew different ones. Then they buddied up with the government and decided to crusade around and rape and murder millions and now they tell everyone this story and tell them if they dont believe it they will burn is a magical lake made of fire for an eternity. Do you see why it is difficult for people to belive?

In a way. You have a few things kind of mixed up, though.
The magic garden was simply just paradise, as we would see it today. It was everything we needed. The tree of sin, as you called it, was just a way so that God would nto force people into obeying Him. It allowed them the power of free choice. They chose to disobey God, thusly they were punished inthe exact way He told them they would be. Which is fair.
The flood was because no one, except Moses, was doing any good in the world anymore. They were totally greed focused, and causing everyone harm. God didn't want to see this, and since tere was no hope in changing them..He destroyed them. The boat had 2 of every animal, by the way. He also said after flooding it that He would not do that again.
As for the dinos, the Bible doesn't say anything about them, so any ideas about them are purely theories. They existed, obviously. The fact they aren't in the Bible just simply means they are not important to us anymore.
The giants and airplanes..I'm not sure about that. Never heard that theory myself.
The tower of Babel came before Jesus, also. That was how we ended up with different languages and ethnicities. It was more because they were trying to focus on greed and power again that God did this, however. By seperating them it caused them to not be able to have pwoer over the whole world, becuas they could not communcate or reach everyone.
I dont believe religion should have any place with government, even nowadays. Also, the Bible doesn't say you will burn for eternity, technically. The word eternity is used a lot more losely. The hell fires are compared to the ones which destroyed Sodom and Gommorah. That fire was also called eternal fire. What etarnal means is that it is simply a fire that will have eternal results. You will be burned untill you do not exsist anymore. God would not punish people for eternity.
And, it is only hard to beleive if you dont know all the details..or if you dont know how much God loves you, or how much sence everything God wanted for us really makes. ^_^
Blessings and Love

Not quite accurate.
We don't know if it was an apple..just says fruit.
God is all knowing and he could never be pissed off..he already knows everything that is going to happen. He knew that Adam and Eve would eat the fruit, which in turn would cause billions of people to be eternally tortured.
He also knew that evil would come back after he drowned the whole world(little bunny rabbits included), which was his excuse for doing it in the first place. The ark consisted of 2 of every animal and 7 of some. The ducks...who knows?
In Job it mentions something that could be a dinosaur if you really change the definition of words.
There was no separation between the government and Christianity during the Crusades. The Bible was the law book. If you are referring to the genocides in the Old Testament ..still, not affiliated with government..they were Yahweh's orders.
And yes it is more than difficult to believe...in fact it is impossible for me to..that is why I am an Ex-Christian and now an atheist who has never been happier.

No, that's not too accurate. There's nothing magic about a garden. Anyone can have one is his/her own yard. A life sustaining garden. Just go plant. You'll be surprised at the outcome. God did indeed flood the earth because of wickedness but there were TWO of each animal on the ark. There had to be one male and one female to ensure reproduction. I believe the dinosaurs didn't survive the flood because they just couldn't fit on the ark - too big! Never heard of the airplane thing and I've been in church all my life. Yes, a virgin gave birth to the Son of God and He did indeed die for you and was raised again on the third day. He also did lots of miracles while on earth like turning water into wine and healing lepars and giving eyesight to the blind. The tower of Babel was actually before Jesus was on earth. It's in the Old Testament. The Catholics decided to crusade around the world to murder those who didn't follow their religion and they still falsely believe today that whoever is not a Catholic will not get into Heaven. They are a representation of the Catholic church, not of Christians. There is nothing magic about the lake of fire. Many, like myself believe it is the center of the earth. If you do a little studying about the earth's core you could see where this idea could be supported.
That said, all is possible with a little bit of faith. We're talking about GOD here, not a human and not a robot. He has no limitations. Our human minds are so limited to understand. That's why faith is required. Because we are NOT God.

Wow. No Tommy. You got it all wrong. You should read your bible.
Mankind started in a garden with a tree called by God, "The fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil". It wasn't an apple tree.
Brothers and sisters did bare children early on, but God didn't forbid it until the book of Dueteronomy. This wasn't a problem because of their genetic purity early on. (We're genetic basket cases).
Noah built an arc with 2 of every animal on it, male and female. And 7 of every 'clean' animal. You wouldn't understand this yet.
The dinosaurs lived. They were on the arc.
The Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ. Who can save you from an eternity of torment if you'll just listen.
The tower thing was actually right after the Arc. It as the tower of Babel. This explains how mankind populated every part of the earth.
Then you start babbling. How ironic!
The way you explain it, it sure is hard to believe! But all you have to do is read your bible, open your eyes and look at the world around you and you'll be golden.

Not compleatly, some parts are a little skewed. Airplanes? never read that in the bible. And the garden wasent "magic" no such thig, it had a tree of knoledge, and when the serpent tempted eve and she ate the fruit she saw things more through the eyes of god and sin enterd mans life. And you accapet that we came from apes? why arent their ape humans now-a-days? in the past two hundred years why havent we seen any changes that are from evelution?
And the crusades were influenced by the devil. Are the many christian extreamist now? The twin towers were destroyed in the name of what religion? There are always people who take thigs to far, but jsut because a non christian killed 50 people doesent mean that i should judge you and call you a murderer

The answer to the way you wrote your question is NO.
You have no idea of what your talking about. so I doubt that you have even cracked open the Bible.As you have things skewed around.
But yes there are models found that resemble modern airplanes. And the Greek tales of Icarus that tried to make workable wings to fly up into the heavens.
oh yes define what you mean by magic.

Disrespectful in the extreme. Not even a slight effort to try and understand.
Please change your ways or join the queue...[ a line of people, stupid...]
(Revelation 21:8) But as for the cowards and those without faith and those who are disgusting in their filth and murderers and fornicators and those practicing spiritism and idolaters and all the liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur. This means the second death.”

Ghosts are particularly supernatural forces. There are 2 categories: interior the Bible they are stated as angles and demons. (BTW - Its Holy Spirit - no longer Holy Ghost). Holy spirit isn't a ghost nor a demon, nor has it any character - its God's energetic rigidity in straightforward terms via which he empowers and accomplishes issues. decrease back to ghosts: Spirit creatures abound and that they are ALL evil - yet they are below command of a supremely clever and useful captain - devil. So, now you already know why the Bible says that devil transforms himself into an angel of sunshine - yep - many those that dabble interior the international of spiritism do no longer understand that they play at the instant into devil's palms.

No dumb a s s e s. Here's something abotu the bible an ignoranous like you probably wont understand, it's in metaphor. And yes actually a virgin was concieved with Jesus. It really surprises me how many non christians are against christians. I've never in my whole entire life seen a christian critisizing. Be a better person and dont question other people's religions.

Oh, Gotta go now. The alien imposter enforcers are banging at my door. I'll get back to you after I finish biting my toe nails.
Ok. I'm back now. (Whispering) When I went to the door no one was there. But I know they're out there in the bushes just waiting for me to come outside. I've got the door barracaded now. Don't think they can get in. AACCCKKK! Now I've got a piece of toe nail caught in my throat. Gotta go call 911.
