Believers get things wrong . Don't you?
Genesis was never meant as a scientific belief. But at a time when science did not exist ,..until about 200 years ago.
well that was all anyone had to go by..We know better now ..
Do we deserve a liitle understanding ?
If god didn't reveal anything to you then that means both that you are just spewing your "version/interpretation" of the story that you dreamt up yourself, and that you are not important enough to god for him to even talk to or acknowledge, which makes for a real asshole of a loving father. Did your real father love you enough to acknowledge you with attention and conversation? Why is you real father a better father than god?
As for the bitterness, I am not bitter at all toward god, I can't be. He's just a very silly fictional story to me, but the "christians" that shit all over society, using a scary god story to wield a club to bash social progress does make me bitter. As a former southern baptist "preacher's kid" in the south, I met very many "men of god" preachers and knew of their home life behavior though their children and I can say that of those, without exception, they were some of the most evil controlling men I have ever seen. If god were good and "made-o'-love," then the mere contact with him should have made them better men as a whole, not dregs. Their kids should have been the most well adjusted and upright having been led by the scripturally guided preachers, yet they were suicidal (3 PK's I knew killed themselves before adulthood) and had great emotional scars. So I am a bit bitter toward the con-men of religion.
You say that genesis was never meant as a scientific belief, yet many men were tortured and executed by the majority in history that did believe it to be and they were closer contemporaries of the authors of the scriptures than you. If the genesis account is supposed to be taken another way than by direct reading then the authors failed in communication which is the purpose of the writings in the first place. You would need to explain why the authors of the scriptures were not writing for their contemporary audience, instead trying to cryptically reach with the true meaning to so some silly bloke in the year 2014.
