I have never understood why plants and animals were cursed because two humans did something that annoyed bible god. The entire story makes no sense unless your god is like the serial killer, Jigsaw in the movie series, Saw
When sin was brought in the creation, it corrupted the entire creation. What makes you think you have the right to judge your creator?
Quote:Supposedly, he put a magic, forbidden tree in a garden with two humans who were so innocent that they didn't really understand right from wrong. Then he let a being who apparently hated humans roam their world so they could be tempted. To believe the story actually happened and isn't just a metaphor means that bible god should be considered evil
They understood right from wrong, where in the account does it say they didn't, you're misrepresenting the account, shame on you, if you can't supply facts the butt out. Just because they were tempted doesn't mean they had to give in. The only evil I see is those who bring in unfounded statements to the account.

Quote:So you believe that your god will put a huge number of people in a place of eternal torture and still don't see your concept of god as evil?
No, those who go to hell choose to go by their rejection of Christ, they decide and God gives them their choice. Being that they choose to go it's not torture but, it will be bad.

Here, let me fix that for you:
I gave the my opinion based on my interpretation of scripture
While you may not like it, that's far closer to the truth than claiming to get any facts from that source.
That's a comment directed at someone else, why are you answering for him, do you not think he is capable.
If you're going to argue scripture you need to do it from scripture and giving specifics.

Does not free will imply freedom to choose? I choose not to go to heaven or hell.
The choice is one or the other, you do not get to change God's plans.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
