The same story but not the same moral to the story. Which moral of the story do you see? Should Adam not have eaten and derailed god's plan? Regards D...

My view is closer to the Jewish view that shows us and god coming out of Eden as successes and not the failure that Christianity put to it. Let me let...
March 15, 2020 at 14:37
Why, when gods are here, as Jesus pointed out, to serve humans. That is good, not evil. As you can see, I do not define gods as supernatural and so th...

It is what? Reality belies that, given that, what, the top ten rich people own 90 odd % of the world. All they have to do, and have done, is buy the p...

Actually, the reverse is true if you reverse the Christian take of a fall to the original Jewish view of Eden being where man was elevated. The idiot ...
March 15, 2020 at 13:44
I thought I was doing just that by showing the contradiction in Christian thinking of calling Eden where we fell, --- while at the same time them sayi...

You are correct in that there was no real sin in the consuming of knowledge. That is why it has been shifted to the desire to be a god. The less astut...
March 15, 2020 at 13:33
You would not be able to know, so, like all religious or spiritual thoughts, we would have to gage them by their moral content. If Christians did that...

He is a liar just as all preachers of supernatural gods are. They have to be given that they have no access to a supernatural realm. Intelligent peopl...
February 22, 2020 at 16:10
That may be true, but we do know that some of their teachings were plagiarized and or forged. Even the name Christian was likely plagiarized from the ...

?? There are no documents signed by Jesus that I know of. He was illiterate and followed the Oral Torah. He may have been a Pharisee because they also...
February 21, 2020 at 20:53
Yet the bible is clear that Adam's loins were not involved as he did not even know he was naked before eating of the tree of knowledge. Sin must first...

Christians, with their homophobic and misogynous teachings, would berate a gay or woman but not a straight male. Thanks for the opportunity to show yo...

You want to chat religion and philosophy after your log boring psychobabble B.S. Go away and take your lies with you. Regards DL
February 20, 2020 at 22:10
No argument from me on this. It bears repeating to all Christians and I do whenever I can. Regards DL
February 20, 2020 at 19:47
The baby you referred to was Yahweh. No? Or did you mean his homophobic and misogynous genocidal god loving religion? Regards DL
February 20, 2020 at 19:46
Is a genocidal son murdering baby worth saving? Regards DL
February 20, 2020 at 16:18
All I can do is try to have people recognize that they have no just cause for their discrimination against women and gays. Regards DL
February 20, 2020 at 15:05
What is tough love is Christianity and it's homophobic and misogynous teachings as well as the idea that a genocidal prick of a god can somehow be goo...
February 20, 2020 at 14:38
Yes, but a better you is born. One could say reborn. I have experience a paradigm shift due to new knowledge. It is quite a process. I think it advisa...
February 20, 2020 at 14:15
Buddy. You started with this flat out lie and you want to chat!!! Stop lying and I am here for you. No I did not bother reading your other lies. I am ...
February 20, 2020 at 14:04
I agree. Sin is natural and we would not exist if sin was not here and now. Regards DL
February 20, 2020 at 14:00
I need proof of hell, and see none, and know that it is illogical and god destroying if a god would have to create such a place, --- for purposeless t...
February 20, 2020 at 13:59
When a law is well written, mercy is built into it or not required. Mercy is arbitrary and a rapist, for instance, should not get mercy just for votin...

You should not take advantage of a guy with no memory for faces and names. Regards DL
February 19, 2020 at 21:10
All the biblical characters fear me. I am hard on imaginary constructs. Regards DL
February 19, 2020 at 21:09
You are also quite the liar. Regards DL
February 19, 2020 at 20:47
You go ahead and pray to the satanic Yahweh. That will show just hoe low you will go, morality wise. Regards DL
February 19, 2020 at 20:46
My post spoke directly to literalism. WTF do you think it refers to? Regards DL
February 19, 2020 at 20:03
Not to your genocidal prick of a god please. He is more satanic than Satan if you could all the bodies and include all the innocent babies and childre...
February 19, 2020 at 20:01
Not for gaining their education and no longer being blind to their nakedness. Yopu do not likely walk about in the nude around others and should under...
February 19, 2020 at 19:57
Only the stupid and brain dead will believe in a literal hell. The liars must have gotten to you early. I sympathise and hope you recover. Regards DL
February 19, 2020 at 19:39
Yes it was, just not to your satisfaction. I did not know I had to stroke your ego for every little thing you get right. I usually speak to what I dis...
February 19, 2020 at 19:37
Believers are not listening to their hierarchies. Not surprising given the amount of lying the preachers of the supernatural based religions have to d...
February 19, 2020 at 19:34
Been there and done that. Regards DL
February 19, 2020 at 19:32
Been there and don that a long time ago. On my axe to grind. If you are happy with the homophobia and misogyny, then do nothing to fight it. You not u...
February 19, 2020 at 19:16
All who believe in Jesus and or the Christ, have to read scriptures literally as that is the only place, basically, where anything is said of a Jesus....
February 19, 2020 at 19:10
Sigh. How often have you heard some a hole Christian say, god said Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve? How often have you heard, he shall rule over you,...
February 19, 2020 at 19:02
I agree. As to perspective, I mentioned the Christian take and the Jewish take. I did not mention the roots of the Jewish myth as coming out of Egypt ...
February 19, 2020 at 18:46
Yes, that being the answer to why Christians are so conflicted on Eden and cannot seem to decide if we fell or were elevated, yet the myth has been us...
February 19, 2020 at 18:42
So you think Yahweh augmented the pain in child birth out of spite? Do you have anything scientific to show that serpents had legs in the past? They a...
February 19, 2020 at 17:28
Yet the vast majority of Christians have to be literalists, to some extent, to believe their dogma and religion. Regards DL
February 19, 2020 at 17:25
Michael. Who was there to report what Satan and Jesus said? Let us use logos and not mythos. Test all things is good moral advice regardless of who or...
February 13, 2020 at 22:24
Seriously. Regards DL
February 08, 2020 at 16:36
Jesus showed a way to think. I have embraced it, but others have the same teachings. I use him as an example because most people I chat with can then ...

By basically living that way most of my life. The clincher, when I chose to take the Gnostic Christian label after suffering my apotheosis. I know I k...
February 07, 2020 at 19:41
If you had such thing, I would acknowledge it. Regards DL
February 05, 2020 at 17:16
I got that you cannot follow a logic trail and cannot refute it. Regards DL
February 05, 2020 at 17:01
I agree. Regards DL

As an esoteric ecumenist, I take out what I want and approve of in all thinking system's, even his, and discard the rest. If all he believed in was hi...
