This might sound rude but it's a big reminder to me every time people bring up their religions. The simple fact is people way back when who made up their bibles and wrote their stories were not even smart enough to know the world isn't round. They were ignorant. They didn't know snot. Why is it so hard for religious groups to grow up and accept the way the world really is. Instead of growing with all of the scientific advancements and discoveries they simple scream heresy and bury their heads in the sand. It's completely retarded and very sad. Think about it, if Jesus was born today and Peter and the others were writing out their stories. They wouldn't sit there and say the entire universe started 6 thousand years ago. They might say, we'll when they talk about how when 'the lord said let there be light" they were talking about the Big Bang. Instead of growing with all of the new discoveries they sit there and have to make up complete garbage that makes no sense nor an ounce of logic just for the sake of trying to save some really old made up / make believe story.
They've proven historically the story of Adam and Eve was simply a made up story that people thought was neat. It wasn't real; it was just a really cool story to everyone. They weren't even going to include it in the bible because they knew it wasn't real but because so many people liked the story they kept it. Now because of the church's complete inability to grow and accept facts, they have idiots out their trying to explain how dinosaurs were in the Garden of Eden. I am seriously starting to believe the church is just a really whacked out cult.
The funny thing is, the story of Adam and Eve is actually a perfect story to describe the church itself!! Think about it, two people living in what they believe to be a paradise. That’s people in church today. But there are these snakes out there (scientist) which want to hand you this apple of knowledge. Once you bit that apple you realize the church is completely full of it. All of the stories they tell you are as true as Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy. And you can’t go back. You’ll never be able to go back and listen to the ridiculous stories without constantly seeing how ridiculous they really are. Once you eat that apple, you have the knowledge to know you are not the center of the universe. You lose all of the arrogance to believe some huge malevolent god spends all it’s time thinking about you and taking care of you.
But no, people listen to this and REFUSE to accept that apple of knowledge. It scares the living Christ out of them. They can’t stand the idea that they aren’t special. They can’t live without the idea that eventually everyone that has wronged them WILL be punished by god. They would just crumble and die if someone took away their little teddy bear; their little woobie; their little security blanked that helps them get through the tough times in life. Because then they would actually have to take true responsibility for their lives.
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
