Wow, you've shown yourself to be an asshole 4 times over in that response. How very christian of you. God must be proud.

RE: Proving the Bible is false in few words.
It wasn't the criticism I was citing you for. It was the use of the words "dummy" and "twat" in reference to me, your sexist solicitation towards Eilonnwy, and finally your absolutely asinine approach towards debate.

Oh come on fr0d0, you're a Christian, you should know God lies in the story of Adam and Eve. Even if you take it as just a story, he is still depicted as lying.

Genesis Wrote:3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

They suffered a kind of death; not physical, though. More a spiritual death. Wink

No, God said "Die" he didn't say "a spiritual death". And when they eat the fruit, it is said only that they gain knowledge. You're just making pathetic excuses to ignore the fact that God lies to Adam and Eve but the snake tells the truth.

RE: Proving the Bible is false in few words.
No, once again, this goes to the fact that you must take the whole story, and it's contents, as metaphorical. When He said they would die, He meant they would spiritually die. Hence why afterward, they did not truly physically die, they were simply banished to miserable existences metaphorical to the idea that seperation from God is spiritual death and msiery.

RE: Proving the Bible is false in few words.
There is absolutely nothing in the story that suggests a spiritual death, but simply a punishment for disobeying daddy. Find me the passage that says they suffer a spiritual death, please. Otherwise you're just blowing smoke.

You can spin the Bible however you want to justify it in your mind, but the facts are plain to see. God said they would die, never said spiritually, they didn't die as a direct result of eating the fruit.

Furthermore, if you take the whole story, and it's contents seems God didn't want humans to be just like Him and the other gods up there, (because look at the wording, he uses "Us") and banishes them from the Garden of Eden so they won't eat from the Tree of Life and become immortal.

Hmmm. Even just as a metaphorical story, God is a dick.

RE: Proving the Bible is false in few words.
If the bible is metaphorical then you admit that it must be interpreted as a collection of allegories. Therefore, it is not the literal word of god. Therefore it was written by man. Therefore it cannot possibly represent the will of god since man is fallible. Therefore your religion is built upon a lie.
