Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

Originally posted by firstfloor View PostVery briefly, the story of Adam and Eve is about growing up. They start as childlike innocents and become godlike mortals. The disobedience is the result of God’s deliberate and protective white lie. There is more discussion of this in God's Word.

That's fine by me, whatevs ... But for the love of Pete, just admit it.
I do the math myself. religion is not a science. The Baha'i Faith is my religion, the science of geology was my vocation before I retired.Last edited by shunyadragon; 01-25-2014, 01:40 PM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

Originally posted by firstfloor View PostNo, I have always been firstfloor. Regarding The Fall you need to appreciate that Christianity reads a theological overlay in Genesis that is not there in the raw text. Genesis is pre-Christian by hundreds of years so if you want to understand it as written you need to forget the Christian theology."Kahahaha! Let's get lunatic!"-Add LP
"And the Devil did grin, for his darling sin is pride that apes humility"-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Oh ye of little fiber. Do you not know what I've done for you? You will obey. ~Cerealman for Prez.
