If the unicorn's name was Fred, yes, I capitalize Fred. Same if the leprechaun's name is Lucky Charms... God's name is God.
Correct. Most are stuck on the King James translation of Genesis 1:1-2 1)In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2a)And the earth [was] without form, and void;............. The Hebrew word [hayah] here is translated [was]. Which may or may not be the best interpretation. The word is not tense specific, and the same word in other verses is translated as shall be, be, is, had been, ect... Another interpretation for the verse is the earth [became] without form ( at some point in time after the initial creation ). This would fit with the concept of God creating perfection, as the Universe was initially created perfect as then was altered or changed from it's original state. In this light the earth and universe could be any age, with God recreating or making the Earth ready for man in the following verse. Here the text would be interpreted as a literal 6 day transformation from the fallen state. fwiw,
Why does god cause cancer, warfare, mass murder, ebola virus, malaria,or teenage pregnancy? This "god" cannot be a just or fair god, and thus, if he is supposedly omnipotent, he is one evil mofo; not to be respected, loved, worshipped, prayed to or feared, but an enemy of humankind, to be fought at every step, by whatever means possible. By the way, my stance is that biblical god is evil, the devil per se, and as such, bible believers are sick human beings, devil worshippers etc, just to clarify. I dont believe in either , incidentally. Just humanity, and actual, real existence. Also, they are called MONOTREMES, the Echidna being another of that thing/genus/family/creation/whatever. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echidna Also, the Okapi is a fine canditate for an intermediary species for a giraffe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okapi Amazingly, christians havent killed them all and driven them to extinction yet, unlike the Passenger pidgeon, the Dodo, the Great Auk, etc etc. That being said, the lack of intermediary species is problematic, on an objective basis-largely, because fossils tend to be buried under millions of years of dirt, so unless someone is going to mine the planet for fossils, (unlikely) these things could well remain a mystery for some time. It's only with modern genetic analysis, people figured out Hyena's were more closely related to cats, than canines-whouda thunk? So god, if your listening, get bent, you sick , cowardly, worthless mofo.
"Amazingly, christians havent killed them all and driven them to extinction yet, unlike the Passenger pidgeon, the Dodo, the Great Auk, etc etc." Let's see, you can capitalize pigeons, dodo birds, auks...but not God or Christians? Isn't about time you grew up spit out that Jesus juice that is still stuck in your craw from all the dick sucking you did in a confessional?
Sin caused all that, not God. Adam was told he was free to eat from any tree, but warned there would be consequences if he ate the tree of knowledge. Adam was told that he if ate the fruit he would surely die. Cancer, warfare, mass murder, ebola virus and malaria are all death. Teenage pregnancy is not caused by God. (except for that one time 2000 years ago with Mary) Teen pregnancy is caused by sex, not God. Just like God promised that eatting the fruit of the tree of knowledge would cause death(all those things you named above) he also promised Life to those that believed and repented. How can God be evil when he promises life to everyone that accepts it and believes? Just one the the many reasons God is Good.
You sad, lonely troll. Capitalizing is so important huh-according to the bible, these animals were god's creation's, it took human beings to give them a name we could identify them with-and then killed them all. "Stewardship", as no1 species, over all others. Wonderful. Why should those things need capitalization? It's mostly Mico$soft prompting anyway, if god exists, he understands, and likely will not be buying an "ipad", because he thinks it's a stupid waste of resources, intelligence, time, and money, because it won't be cheap, and it's functionality is limited, V's opposing products. There is some evolutionary theory, right there!!!!Awesome. BTW, I have no idea WTF your last paragraph meant, or was supposed to mean, it's obvious you are easily intimidated and offended by anything contrasting YOUR world view, with reality. Get help Zzz, before it's to late. i hope your not suggesting, catholic priests are all child molesters, for a start. Grow up? Have you survived 4 counts of attempted murder? Have you been clinically dead? Ever had to defend yourself with a knife? Ever come face to face with a serial killer? Ever told someone they will get prostate cancer, and they have about 5 years? I have. Capitalize on that, you troll'tard.
Appreciated, but it's ludicrous. I live with a die-hared pentacostal christian, who is always trying to convert everybody-but I cant have a conversation with him about it, because he has no knowledge whatsoever of the torah, the koran, buddhist scriptures, or.............anything else, at all. Always an "excuse" in biblical terms, for shit that happens. If it's all allegorical, and can be interpreted anyway you want, then what's the point? Nothing, nada. "Without knowledge". Interesting concept, but why are so many Asian beliefs ridiculed, when they start with the concept of the "void", the empty cup? Are they unchristian, because they never heard of jesus? What's the difference? They never read a bible, but their traditions were identical in concept?
What was God doing creating Adam and the tree and then putting them together and then forbidding them not to eat it. Was it a social experiment gone wrong? Sounds something like the Stanford Prison Experiment
