tackattack said:2." And how do you know that God punished man? On reread that was a little nonsensical. I was stating that You're under the assumption God punishes. I assert that we punish ourselves and each other."
I suggest you reread your bible since you are demonstrating that you clearly have very little knowledge of what is written within its pages. Here is Isaiah prophesying supposedly gods words regarding punishment.
Isaiah 13:11 (Whole Chapter)
And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
The biblical tale of Adam and Eve clearly states that when they disobeyed god that all mankind had inherited their sin. Whether the tale is literal or allegorical is irrelevant but it is the key reason that Jesus had to die on the cross to redeem mankinds relationship with god. Jesus did this vicariously through his own sufferings and ultimately sacrificing his own life. Although I don't believe any of it was true that is basically what it says.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
