Who is the murderer?
|
Valk is.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If you don't believe in that, and you think that your parents making you is ultimately a condemnation to death, then they are responsible for your death. On the whole, though, I feel fortunate to have had the time I did. I'm glad my parents gave that to me, and don't consider it murder that it can't last forever. (I understand that I've been luckier than most, though.)

According to Bible. At the begining Adam and Eve had a perfect everlasting life, just like everyone else would have. Then Eve f up everything. Veni, you can thank Eve.

Veni, you can thank Eve. The standard explanation, although, Pelagius denied such. As with Jesus coming to North America to preach to the Native Americans, such a belief is in the same category as claiming that the South won the American Civil War.
