Primordial Sex--Eden as Allegory

[chi pan]

IF the bible is set for such distant times why should it be taken seriously today if it was written for the people 2000 years ago.

well i wish some people would. politicians lie all the time but if they took the bible into account they would know that they're wrong in doing this and that they should at least try to stop. impossible? well in japan politicians have a lot more honor than they do in america. yes, japan is not christian, but at least they hold true to marals whether it be Buddhist morals or otherwise.

I said that Christians have had the bible for years but know it says "don't steal" didn't stop them

those who don't listen to scripture don't take it seriously. those who lived back when it was written did take it seriously. and no christians are pardonable for their actions, but this belief that it's not wrong if you don't get caught is very dangerous

And THAT is proof why religion does more harm than good...MILLIONS have been killed because of religion and today look at 9/11 and in a society where we now have nuclear weapons and tell me that's religious danger is not getting worse.

no, religion is a tool they use and if they don't have that they will use other tools. should we get rid of politics b/c of Hitler?

So an Atheist is damned if he has money and damned if he gives it away to charities?

no, who said that?
