Why was Adam exempt from the transgression when the transgression was disobedience?

[Greatest I am]

Second request.

But what is the first duty of one who has seized it, if mot to insure that all enjoy the same freedom of thought and action?

The first duty is to respect the rights of others. In this case, that right is the freedom of conscience. They chose a faith that subjugates them.

Or do you just center on yourself and screw the rest?

What are you doing about the 750 million Muslim women in bondage -- aside from posting on an atheist forum, of all places? I'm sure that's helpful.

Your sanctimony is nice. Let's see how it's motivated you to take practical steps in this cause.

Also, don't forget, this is the third time now: what steps do you think we should take to save these women from themselves?

Education and example.

As to me, I go wherever I have not beaned banned.

I get hell for it from some theists who somehow know how to find all the places that have banned me. The list is higher than 12. It surprised me a bit as it is the short list.

How many places have banned you?

"The first duty is to respect the rights of others."

I agree as it pertains to the freedom we were talking about.

I disagree in the sense that most people talk of rights and beliefs. Too many beliefs do damage and a moral man will not ignore them.

Lend me your ear a bit.

For the evils of religion to grow, read any scripture literally.

Any and all harmless beliefs are allowed by Gnostic Christians. We know that any myth can be internalized for good results and as esoteric ecumenists, we enjoy knowledge of all the myths that man has created about Gods.

When there is a victim is when that view changes. Then you see why Christianity annihilated Gnostic Christianity. We do not let the evils of forced literalism go unopposed. To a tyrant like Constantine, we were poison. One of his first commands to his new Church was to kill off the free thinkers and of course, his new tool, his Church, did as bid. It was quite a ride for free thought for the next 1,000 years.

For the evils of religion to grow.

How can a Gnostic Christian, --- and any other free thinking moral person, --- not judge other's morals when seeing someone hurt other because of the same Church's teachings today?

Can you ignore such things if you have decent morals? Impossible. Especially with Islam pulling the same murderous, freedom stifling ****.

We must discriminate and judge constantly. Every law is a compulsion on all of us to judge.

It is my view that all right wing literalists and fundamentals hurt all of us who are moral religionists, --- as well as those who do not believe. Literalists hurt their parent religions --- and everyone else, be he a believer or not. Literalists and the right wing of religions make us all into laughing stocks. Their God of talking animals, genocidal floods and retribution has got to go. So must beliefs in fantasy, miracles and magic. These are all evil.

They also do much harm to their own fellow adherents.

For evil to grow my friend, all good people need do is nothing. Fight literalism when you can. It is your duty to our fellow man.
