You don't understand. Its symbolism. It was never meant to be taken literally. If you want to really learn about how man has created myths to put a human face on God then read Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces. You are all form over substance. John
No just worthless and self centered which is why you didn't see bus loads of Atheist going to NOLA. Atheists don't give a shit about anyone other then themselves. Human civilization is about working together for the common good but Atheists are only concerned about whats in it for them.
So what was this all about. "How wonderful is that â theyâll be rebuilding homes in New Orleans with other atheists and Christians. Canât get more cooperative than that. I mentioned last year that the Atheists, Agnostics, & Freethinkers from the University of Illinois went on a similar trip (and theyâll be doing it again this year, joining up with Ashleyâs group)." If you are not a bus load of theists you ain't helping NOLA? You would seem to have a bit of nasty theistic bigotry going on there dude.
I think we can agree on this. Jesus would be the first to say that the message (teaching) is more important than the box it has been packaged in. "Wisdom is justified by ALL her children." Luke 7:35
