Temptation Is The Pillar of Evil

[ChinaBandit]

So Adam and Eve discovered in Eden and paradise was lost. All because of the fallen angel Satan.

Well, who tempted Satan?

Or, was he the fucked up angel which then requires an imperfect God?

I think Christianity just fell over...

Satan gets a bad rap.

I think we all know the true villain of this story.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Its worse than that Doctor. God lied and told us eating that tree would kill us, Satan told us the truth that it would make us wise.

Satan does get a couple kills though if I'm not mistaken. It's been a while but I think he gets to off a couple of Job's kids while God and he are gambling.

Does anyone think that all of humanity walking around naked is a good idea? Anyone? God works in mysterious ways.

[phrodeau]

That proves the point. You can't get things done without protective gear.

Even that was with God's connivance. Where did that two million plus come from. I'm sure it was more than that, especially when you count all the Philistines and others the Jews rubbed out while doing his dirty work.

I didn' tsay God wasn't a dick, I said Satan managed to get a kill or two in. I think it's seven. . .or fourteen. It's either all the sons, all the daughters, or both. And yeah it was him and God making bets.

I dunno 2 million is probably not an entirely crazy number. I'd have to have someone smarter than me do the math but considering this was at minimum three thousand years ago give or take and possibly more than that 2 million could quite possibly have been every non Jew in the Middle East at the time.

I mean, everybody in the world but Noah and his family and Sodom and three other cities and the Egyptian first-borns and the Egyptian army make for a goodly number.

 

[Sean Renaud]

No argument against that. I'm just saying there are US States today that you could wipe off the map and barely get that kind of kill count.

I disagree with the premise.

It is envy.

Eve was envious that Satan knew something she did not and was not spreading around the 411...

It is envy that leads to temptation.

False premise. It was Satan that created the condition, therefore he gets the kill the same way the driver gets the chair when the robbery goes bad.

And bodies outside of your religion do not count either; they belong to Satan too...

Satan was a late addition to the Garden parable, written by feminists hoping to blame a male figure for what was obviously (if you read the original) evil originating within women (the prime source).

I prefer to own the evil than to blame a fallen angel.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Gentlemen, keep in mind that kbate probably is the devil...



... just sowing a little confusion.

Vegas has 6:5 on that theory.

You silly kids, reading allegory literally again.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

If my wise guys are giving 6:5...

... you can make bank on it.

Silly people, apples are for kids!

I wanna EAT my GOLDEN DELICIOUS......Granny Smith

OK?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Basically.


But I have to say, I always wondered how the Jews can be perfectly okay with a 6,000 year old Bible story and a 4,000,000 year old earth, but the fundies get their knickers all knotted up over it.


I have no dog in this fight.

... or how the world's largest religion of peace can accept that Mohammed was an actual historical person with zero historical proof what-so-ever.
