There was no Adam and Eve; therefore, no fall, no original sin and no need for redemption. This means Christianity is baseless bullshit.
Let me know if I need to also digest your next meal for you.

Original sin is a completely sick concept even if the ridiculous story could ever be true.

god sat around timelessly for eons then one day decides to create this vast cosmos and on one little tiny itsy bitsy teensy weensy speck of it, create intelligent life condemned to hell for all eternity if they do not worship their creator.
Now, is that really ridiculous?

"Hey folks I created.. Adam and Eve/Steve ( never remember which, I, Yahweh, may be a homophobe but I'm also gender-blind, it was Steve or Eve, one of the two) and once I created them, I set up a trap for them - and then when they fell for it, I punished every unborn future generation for their "sins" which is a made up concept I created... and then I blamed it on a talking snake."
Oh how God loves "Sin", it entertains him to no end.

Yes, but they are also the ones, the biblia pauperum has been created for.The less educated you are, the easier you fall for what a seemingly educated person tells you to be true.
The key word being "seemingly."
All of these holy joes remind me of:
Quote:The ministers, who preached at these revivals, were in earnest. They were zealous and sincere. They were not philosophers. To them science was the name of a vague dread -- a dangerous enemy. They did not know much, but they believed a great deal.

I assume you mean your religion. Great. What justifications have you found credible?

Well shit, why didn't you say so? How about we stop jousting around and get to the point, then?
Why don't you name your favorite religious justification, in your own words, and I'll rebut it? If you're after a really in depth examination, I'm happy to provide; writing lengthy responses is kinda my thing here.

Of course, you are obviously credulous.

So you either don't believe in the scientific explanation of earth's history or you're not able to grasp it. If you would accept science, only in this one isolated incident, you can only come to the conclusion that religion, as told, is a crock of shit. Ends don't meet, since humanity is but a fart in earths existence. We've clocked off about 2 percent of the dinosaur age, so we're as unimportant to the whole, as one can imagine.
