Any wise man..that advises adults to act as though they were children.....doesn't seem so wise to me Prof. "Jesus" said a lot of strange shit, but he's a character in a work of fiction. What's your excuse?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Rythm, there are attributes of children which are universally admirable.
Jesus said you must become as trusting as a child to be able to enter His kingdom.
Little children have not learned to be guileful. They are humble.
To be "Childlike" carries a different connotation than "Childishness".
The former is admired in adults while the latter is scorned.
I was thinking about this thread and my buddy at work came to my mind.
We were considering one of the wise asses there,who we deal with, and Scotty said,
"I think I may be smarter than I actually am, and sometimes find out that I might be.
It is better than thinking one is smart and finding out later that you aren't"

Children trust the man with the white van when he says he has a kitten in the back. Good luck with the kingdom of heaven Prof.

So by that logic, you have to share Heaven with Christians. Good luck with that lol.
There's no heaven, dickhead.

I'm going to steal the "be like a child" thing and use it for science!
A child has very few assumptions so is less likely to miss something due to faulty preconceptions.
Unfortunately, the child doesn't know that much and gets easily distracted by...
Oh there he goes. *Sigh*

The Adam & Eve story is complex. Peopletend to focus on the simple things instead of trying to understand the whole story. For one thing the Bible says that the Garden of Eden was down the road from Assyria, Ethiopia, Persia, Arabia. The Bible also says that the king of Tyre lived in the Garden of Eden and that he called himself God. So the whole story is a jumble of various scenes with the king of Tyre collaborating with the Egyptian pharaoh (the talking snake). As a consequence the king of Tyre (Adam & Eve) was kicked out of his kingdom (the Garden of Eden).
You have to read the whole story.

GC Because God put it there? Because God created them to require food before it was possible to die, and an apple is food? Because God designed a world that could not possibly be hospitable to a species of anything that doesn't die because there isn't enough surface area on the planet to allow for infinite reproduction without death. If there was no death before sin, why would they even be created with the feeling of hunger? They ate it because the story makes it very clear that God created an environment and then a species of primate that was inherently dependent on a number of things within it that only make sense AFTER the "consequences" for sinning are impuned. It's a load of ridiculous fairy tale holy-shit!

Who judges a whole species by the action of one or two members of that species?
God's a big fat speciesist!
Not only does he judge them all to be as bad as each other, he punishes them all too for being as bad as each other. He's no better than someone kicking the shit out of every black guy they see because a black guy once stole their wallet.

Surely, you can make an intelligent deduction from that.
All babies, all mentally retarded people people go to Heaven.
Jesus said about kids-"Of such IS the kingdom of Heaven".
All the aborted babies are there.
The difficulty for us, is we are required to be as trusting and recognizing our needs as a child does.
Jesus said so. Really? So jesus was lying when he said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.?" John 14:6
Babies and the mentally retarded can't repent and can't accept or follow jesus. So off to hell with them.
But even playing along with your kinder god fantasy, How mentally incapacitated or how young is that fine line of "old enough and smart enough" to go to hell?
Wouldn't it suck to be 1 IQ point over the line and have to deal with the wiliness of a supernatural satan that can so easily misdirect even the Einsteins of today's world? Wouldn't it suck to die thirty seconds after attaining the age of accountability?
Find the cure for Fundementia!

So tell me, why shouldn't we kill babies? Or at least the maximum amount we can while keeping the species going? Surely we're doing them a favour, and we can just say soz to Jesus when we're done. We're guaranteeing they get into heaven, and saving them from having to go through this shit bit of life first. How is that not great?
This is a demonstration of how dangerous religious beliefs can be if people really do believe them rather than just professing belief. Even if they believe a lot about their religion, they clearly don't really believe babies go to heaven.
