Scab labour.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Or bennies.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

Yahweh was particularly impressed at how neatly he trimmed his burning bush.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

I was going through Genesis again for the lulz, and started thinking about this. The reason that god gives for kicking people out of Eden is that they could eat of the tree of life and be immortal. That they wouldn't need him "the man has become as one of us," God says. Nowhere in this is sin mentioned. Only fear and trepidation.

By the by, notice the plural "us" that is used. Who is God talking to?

There's also the implication that since the man does not have eternal life that he would have died anyway even without eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. So god is a liar too.

I think the "us" is reference to the trinity and if you read beyond the first book the is a great deal of talk about enternal life

Keep in mind this was written long before the prophecies about Christ. It is obvious that this was not a reference to the trinity.

No, of course it could not have been referring to the Trinity- that would negate a lot of flack from atheists, Jews and Muslims.
We could never have such a thing.

No one ever heard of the fucking 'trinity' until Tertullain invented it...and he died in the 3d century AD.

Negate flack? I have no idea what you're talking about at this point.

(And it's 'flak', btw, unless you're referring to Roberta. You're killing me softly with your vocabulary atrocities.)

Was your god surprised by their choice?

RE: Genesis 3
Honest answer: No he was not surprised. Surprise is a human emotion which comes from discovering something you didn't already know about. And since God just made these people and knows everything about them, and how they make choices, he knew what they would choose.

Theist answer: Free will no yes he wasn't he did surprise but he knows everything but the tree and the snake he loves you but he wants a choice you made the wrong choice God is always right leave me alone.
