On the subject of allegory, wasn't the original sin sex? To have a woman, accepting fruit, from a serpent.

[AngieAntiTheist]

How Freudian! :) Actually, that's not a bad theory & it's one I never came up with so kudos to you :)

[alexavasquez1992]

why doesn't anyone attack the Qu'ran for a change. seriously. i swear, there's no one who talks more about God than atheists, but whatevs

[AngieAntiTheist]

Well, I don't because I don't like to talk about what I'm ignorant of. I used to be a Christian, studied/read/memorized the Bible for many years, and can speak with a little more knowledge. There are far more ex-Christian theists in the US than ex-Muslim atheists.

I'm fairly certain clergy talk about gods more than your average atheist (bearing in mind YT atheists aren't a good sample of average - we're more outspoken than than most.)

[AngieAntiTheist]

That was supposed to read "more ex-Christian ATHEIST than ex-Muslim atheists" in the US. Damn typos! :)

@AngieAntiAtheist I am delusional, not insane! The Bible was written by a primitive culture with no scientific understanding trying to deduce and explain their experiences, including why women suffer during childbearing and men don't. Society was male-dominated, and therefore so, were the religious tenets. While there isn't as much profit in admitting this publicly, I assure you there are many Christian leaders who have accepted this truth. (Of course, that might be delusional on my part!)

[AngieAntiTheist]

Okay, so you're not a literalist. :) Which sections of the Bible do you think are factually correct? Every non-literalist seems to have a different set of criteria, so I'd rather ask than assume.

[AngieAntiTheist]

<<< Oh look. My first Holocaust denier. (Facepalm just doesn't begin to cover it.)

[GHOSTTOYS]

why do you feel the urge of talking about thats all the time .. what is your motivation ..

[happygroundhogday]

to know the knowledge of Good and evil is to know God has a deep dark side of Evil called Satan

but he has a beautiful side called God male and female

satan is feminen "bride" of God -

[happygroundhogday]

when you think about the knowledge of Good and evil

think about the MOST discusting,vile,horid,bloody,s­atanic,dead babies,vomitous,murderous desease in the world you can ever imagine and realize and picture it in your imagination

what really went thru jesus mind when he was on the cross bleeding

it makes me sick in my stomic thinking how uderly discuting that would feel

every evil in the world manifested upon 1 man

No, there is no church for us, we just go about our business until religion nuts treat us like shit until we cant take it anymore, then SOME of us make youtube videos of it, GOD made YOU have free will so you could shut the fuck up and pretend to be the bigger person, If only god could see that you cant love thy neighbor...

[AkumaxTamashii]

well yea, the 'the kingdom of heaven is within' and if god (which is a title, not a name) live in heaven then he/she (or Elohim) is inside you so you should listen to your own heart's feelings to tell you what to believe in your own experiance. And I know that nothing stays the same, even science has shown me that every second its as if life is competely changed, different, new. And thank you, I will enjoy the day/night that 'god' put here for me to experiance :)

[VidsViewing]

The consequence of an expanded conciousness is developed prefrontal lobes; which fascilitates an understanding of possession, lust, empathy, consequence etc. It's not vindictive but essential for man to leave the garden to 'Till the soil' in his transition from forager to civilized. Women to have 'great pain in child birth' as our frontal lobes grew larger than a primate's.

In the allegory God was in fact displeased; my theory is he knew the shit storm we would become before we'd get 'better'

[RepaleoN]
