Were Adam and Eve slaves?
November 15, 2011 at 12:53 am
I have mentioned this a couple times without a getting a second look. Too many other things going on might be the excuse or because it is fact, it did not require rebuttal.
Genesis 2:5
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
Genesis 2:15
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
So god had not the power to care for his own garden and needed a slave.
(For those select few that will come back and say the bible is full of shit. YES)

God couldn't be bothered with clothes for his slave but he did start a breeding program.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

And what did they eat? The babble-god told them they could not eat the good shit. Maybe that is why they did it, they were HUNGRY. FEED ME! Oh, tree, fruit, thank god.

They weren't supposed to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil else they would be like God. Does anyone see a few metaphors between this and scientific knowledge? If our ancestors didn't "eat from the tree" we would still be running around naked in the woods. If our more recent ancestors didn't "eat from the tree" then Christen dum would still rule the western world and we would have remained be in the dark ages. But because we did eat, we not only are out of the "garden" so to speak we also have some idea that "god" is just a construct of our minds....in other words God is us. We have become like God.
OOOOhhh. deeep stuff. *munch munch munch*

During my transitional stage from catholic to Atheist, I had considered the possibility that we were the fallen angels. We had all knowledge, but our 'sin' was the desire for experience.

Maybe he wanted to play "The Sims" a little early or something.
