I didn't know the "Philosophy & Religion" section became a new "Random" section Congratz... Free speech ftw -------------------- fearless_fx, I just realize your DP is a girl with a bomb and the trigger in her hand (b/c I was surfing the net and found a bigger picture and can actually see the details) That picture made me think for a bit of what religion is all about and sadly, there isn't any easy way to answer that question.
God created everyone with freewill to express themselves and to make choices. The one who started this tread is obviously not a Christian and so what is being expressed is not surprising as after all they persecuted the son of God i.e. Jesus. Everyone who subscribe to any religious worldview, even agnostics and atheist should carefully consider their position and their basis of their belief.
Stories in the bible always have some things that don't make sense. Like Cain and Abel....HOW DID THEY HAVE SON!? Oh was there a woman involved? Eve? But thats incest! Wait its not Eve? Then ADam and Eve were not the first people then correct? I think religion is important because it offers a reason to have morals and not go around killing each other. But beyond that I think religion is a collection of stories from the past with character names altered to produce a new story. When read about history between 1500 BCE to now, you find out there were versions of the bible stories waaaaay before the bible was written. This is just my point of view on the bible. Stories of morality.
There are probebly tons of people at different times that the bible never talks about. Apparently somewhere in the bible it referances how Adam had another wife before Eve named Lilith ( which makes me think of Evagelion know that I think about it).
lol if you take the bible word for word, the concept of adam and eve is the most messed up. We know today that incest and inbreeding causes genetic deformities... if the world's human population began from two people, we would all be insanely retarded.
