why is it that adam and eve are always portrayed as a white man and woman? i mean, i'm white but i'm not stupid to think that the first man and woman looked like clean white westerners. they most likely had darker skin and a more rugged appearance. i mean, come on! they were surviving out in the middle of nowhere in what was

'paradise' but what was also now known as harshest climate on earth!

@turbocpt1 yeh good to see that there is people who actually think with their brains and dont believe everything that is tought without trying to figure out stuff out on their own and have an own mind and opinion on things

[turbocpt1]

@Ztevenization exactly dude! great to see we understand each others opinion. :D

@turbocpt1 the christians who are deep in this they live their lives like yeh im gonna close my eyes and let god do the rest.....i mean hello its your own choice what u do with your life u cant just sit back and hope for the best,u gotta do it yourself.And then when somethings go wrong then its gods fault this that.I really cant live like that.

[Ztevenization]

@turbocpt1 about fighting and the bible its sez so many diffrent things and all in some secret code or something why cant it just be clear and stop messing around with peoples mind instead of being mystical the whole time.I know there is gotta be more to life than just being born andd dying,and i do believe there is a god but like i said humans are good at manipulating each other its something like 9/11 i believe that was done by the own gouverment and they blaim other people for doing that

[Ztevenization]

@turbocpt1 well i dont know what happend long ago there are so much stories one group sez this the other that and the other that then another one sez the bible is re written with fake stories its so confusing.I really dont know what to believe what i try to do is believe in the spirit i follow my feeling and sences because humans are such great deceivers who knows what happend and didnt happen.

Thats why ican understand the things that are written just yesterday i was looking up stuff about

[turbocpt1]

@Ztevenization to believers our views seems ridiculous, yet they believe in talking snakes (satan that spoke to adam's rib) magical wooden staff that opens water, or turn water to wine. there are alot of things.. the pyramids were standing long before noah, christians know it, yet, if there was a global flood how could they still be standing? so for very good reason we are allowed to ask these questions, but to who? no one.. that is why we do Science, to find the truth! :D

[turbocpt1]

@Ztevenization believers will then argue that you are not allowed to ask these questions. but why not? why can I not see that a said god that is 100% perfect creates imperfect beings and then they are told to live perfectly and trust in him, even unseen else you will burn until the end of time. is that really a loving gods words? if alot/most of the bible stories are not true, then how can you trust the rest of the stories?

[turbocpt1]

@Ztevenization ok.. then you are the type of person that will try and understand where my/our views come from. Just as believers say, the universe cannot exist out of nothing, we say, how can a magical being exist? let us say he does exist, where did he come from? from nothing? if he was not created and just always has been there and existed out of nothing, what makes me wrong for believing that the earth is older than the said 10 000 years?

[Ztevenization]

@turbocpt1 because thats not how i am judging people for what they do or what they are.But the faith in jesus i still have and i dont believe every single thing the bible sez cuz i think some people messed it up thats why its so confusing everybody has their own point of vieuws on everything
