Right, so I guess every ancient culture on planet earth separated by THOUSANDS of miles, seas, oceans, mountains, lakes, rivers, and continents all made up a story about a flood destroying all of humanity including all land and air animals except for a select few that were preserved on a boat?
Well it wasn't every ancient culture and most weren't separated by oceans or even seas. But the story is absurd and only can be believed for religious reasons.

Interesting....
99% of all life to ever exist is now extinct. Please explain how this is considered flourishing.
1. All sickness and disease finds it roots in the garden of Eden, not with God. Our first parents, Adam and Eve, rebelled against God through disobedience to His command. The result of their initial action has now worked itself out with the passage of time. Polio just happens to be one of the fruits of a sin sick world.
But thanks be to God that the story doesn't end with sin, but with salvation! The Lord Jesus Christ, the last Adam, came to fix what the first Adam messed up. And if you come to Him by faith, trusting not only with an intellectual consent, but by believing in your heart that Jesus Christ is who He says He is and that He did what He said He did, you will be saved!
And this is the guarantee:
"And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:39-40
So the question is, do you want Jesus? That is the question! Do you want peace with God? That is the question! Do you want every tear wiped away? That is the question! Do you want a tomorrow with no more sorrows? That is the question! Do you want to inherit ALL things? That is the question!

here is an excerpt from just one of the "hits" I got:
"Legends of a flood can be found in the folklore of such diverse places as the Middle East, India, China, Australia, southern Asia, the islands of the Pacific, Europe, and the Americas. But the best-known flood legend--that on which the story of Noah is based--had its origins among the peoples of ancient Mesopotamia in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. "
Every corner of the globe is covered with some type of ancient flood story. Amen.
3. Well your typing to me. Amen.
You believe the god we have is perfect right? So why can't your perfect god just completely forgive what Adam and Eve did and just *poof* wipe out all harmful bacteria and diseases so children in nations all over the world don't get so fucking sick just by drinking the water? If your god is "perfect", he's a very, very lazy being.
And as you may know by now, humans are born VERY flawed. So if humans were created flawed, then technically, your god should be mad at himself for fucking up.
Adam and Eve, according to the Bible, needed to understand the weight of their decision; to know that there is a consequence for their action. I don't think we truly appreciate choice because we think it should be without responsibility; that if I make the choice to lie, cheat, steal...whatever, I shouldn't have to worry about my decisions having any negative impact towards others or myself. I mean...Adam and Eve had a chance at perfection. They didn't have to worry about sin and death, but they lost it at the expense of making a choice to disobey.
Okay so why are CURRENT humans still suffering from all that? If the Bible god is as loving and caring as DOU claims, then why is it still holding a grudge from all those years ago? Any god that holds a grudge for 2000 years plus is nothing less than an asshole and a prick. I'm not afraid to say these things because obviously, I don't believe in your god. I'm a pantheist, so I'm not atheist, but the Bible god doesn't make any sense based on what you just said. Adam and Eve are the reasons humans are STILL dealing with bad water issues and viruses in 2015? Really tho?
With that kind of asshole attitude from your god, it's no wonder Adam and Eve ate that fucking apple.

Just because I forgive my son for breaking something that doesn't mean the pieces are going to go back together the way I intended. God's forgiveness is given spiritually but physical we still have to suffer the results of sin. People do take the abrahamic religion seriously The first university and hospital were creations of religious organizations. That sounds very progressive. Do you know most people?? No so stop talking fuckery. Understand this we are born and die by design of the changed sinful world we live in therefore with that perspective the world is not flawed. What you call flaws are results of the system that accomplish their purpose
So the Bible god still has a grudge then, because the Bible makes clear the troubles on Earth exist because of the sins of Adam and Eve, so that technically means the grudge is still there. By that theory alone, it proves the Bible god is NOT a truly forgiving god and holds grudges like a 10 year old girl.
And for you to say the world is NOT flawed means you lack worldly perspective. A child growing up with worms growing out of its body in the most painful places is a sure sign the world is VERY flawed. Kids are often born without legs or arms and sometimes even without a working immune system (I met one of those bubble boys/girls once doing security in a hospital). The DESIGN of Earth in itself is flawed because there are MANY things hostile to us and to each other, what kind of purpose does a child born with worms growing out of its legs serve???
Sorry I don't see those horrible things as flaws in nature. It's fucked up but not a flaw since the reason these situations exist is to create death and pain which ultimately betters humanity in many ways.

Because the decision that Adam and Eve made affected everybody; to subject the fate of mankind to a selfish decision to eat from the tree. The curse is hereditary.
Just so you know, getting rid of suffering is not going to get rid of sin. Sin would still need to be dealt with even if we didn't have to endure pain. There are people who have been privileged to not endure the hard times of life and yet, like the rich young ruler, will have to answer to God about sin.

Oh please, the strongest people I've ever known say worse then anything I say here. My father is atheist and has said worse, and he also served in the United States Marines for 4 years. Killed more people then anyone I've ever known, played professional soccer in Panama, far from weak.
And humans didn't make the world, humans didn't make incurable diseases, didn't create tornadoes, didn't create mosquitoes, didn't create rats, and didn't create tsunamis either. Try again.

I caught you.....you admitted it's fucked up that some kids have to deal with things like that. ( that does not mean nature is imperfect) So how is a kid born without legs or arms NOT a flaw in the world?
(I answered this question already ) That child is gonna have a hard ass time growing up, it will never be able to experience the full joys of life the way other kids can, not as easily at least. (no matter how hard his life is that does not mean that nature is flawed )
Death and pain betters humanity in some ways yes, but usually it just causes heartache and needless suffering. You do realize some diseases and problems can't be cured right? they cannot be cured now Some problems in the world are generally hopeless. How the fuck does a disease or deficiency that CANNOT be cured or taken care of yet be one way to improve humanity? Please tell me the purpose someone being born without legs or arms. To just explain to that child, "Hey sorry little nigga but because Adam and Eve fucked up a thousand years plus ago, your little ass has to suffer, suck it up, the world is perfect" is the HEIGHT of lunacy.
zombie;7684516 said:death is a mercy and pain trains the faithful. The story of eden is a metaphysical one that explains that existence of the human condition of suffering and death. The simple minded and overly emotional see humans born with deformities as proof that the world is flawed, this is ignorance. THE WORLD meaning nature is perfect for it's purpose which is to draw the people of god closer to him. Now clearly it sucks to be born with no legs however this is not a flaw in nature it's actually part of nature.
when god created the world suffering was not part of it but we are made in his image thus we have similar but very limited power, we unleashed sin and sin changed the nature of this world god had nothing to do with it and holds no grudge, in fact god has tried to help mankind. thus we have Christ.
If you want to escape even the possibility of pain then you have to die in Christ your soul will be saved. you want to limit the effects of pain on earth then you have to live like Christ and push others to do the same.

This is what it is you don't have to accept it but spreading lies and slander about a religion you don't understand is the reason why we have these arguments. not a thing I said was funny it was just the raw truth.

Someone being born without legs isn't a flaw? no
Someone being born with worms growing out of them isn't a flaw? no
Someone being born a bubble boy and dying a bubble boy isn't a flaw in life? no
Wow, well I used to date a doctor and I'll tell you this, those medical bills parents get from having kids with these flaws isn't perfection, I tell you that.
