KOW:
The "snide little judgments" I learned from copying and pasting every comment you have made on this site into a computer.
And the "snide" comments you despise are generated via Google's Gemini AI.
They are actually based upon your very own.
Sure. đ If that were true, it would make you even more petty. Particularly since youâve made the comments about people other than me.

the people and culture who wrote the story.
Strictly speaking, it is a derivative work adapted from the Babylonians, and the Jewish interpretations have been added later and do not fully represent the intentions of the original story.

That is why this has lasted so long on this forum. You can't decide whether God lied or not, not because God lied or didn't or because it is a myth or not, but because each of you here involved believe in different things when you use the word "God," even if you are atheist or agnostic.
By and large, most people in the thread have been talking about what the story actually says along with âin-universeâ speculation about the content of the story. Itâs mainly been you that has strayed from that approach, albeit with mostly interesting material about the actual intent of the story (along with smatterings of judgemental condescension).
Itâs not actually that useful to the original intent of the thread to point out that âGod didnât really tell the first lie because itâs just a story to teach a lessonâ, which is just another layer of what you accused everyone else of doing. Which is fine. But donât get high and mighty about it.

They get nitpicky, like Jeffro, over the wrong points.
You canât help yourself can you. These snide little judgements of people who point out any little thing you get wrong. Please stick to good content and just say those nonsense parts to yourself.

The claim that the practice of including ânarrativesâ in modern law books was adopted from the Mosaic Law (itself derived from Babylonian law and other early influences) is a simplification. Western legal systems have been developed through various influences, particularly Roman law and English common law. Stating the facts of specific cases in law books is more strongly tied to English common law rather than a direct or intentional adoption of Jewish tradition. The cases establishing case law refer to actual events rather than cautionary fictional tales. Also, the presence of the Ten Commandments in courtrooms or on state land is a reflection of cultural heritage rather than legal foundation. It is a frequent lie, especially in the US, that Western laws are âbased on the Ten Commandmentsâ. More than half of the Ten Commandments are not laws in the US, and the establishment clause of the US Constitution prohibits the first 4.

KalebOutWest:
This is an example of "The Mandela Effect,"
Not really. The Mandela Effect refers to details that are widely misremembered, not simply a widespread incorrect belief that a mythical story is historical. (MMM didnât say that God told them it was wrong, but only that it would be pointless to do so if they didnât understand that anyway, so that wasnât an example of the Mandela Effect in the scope of the narrative either. Itâs just speculation about details that are not provided.)
Of course the rest of the point still holds aside from the semantics though.

Don't waste your time Jeffro. God's lies are the theme of this topic so obfuscation is the least we can expect from his followers.
Oh I know. But heâs the foil, not the audience.

What a load of nonsense. The chemistry is already understood (and if it werenât, your position would still just be an argument from ignorance anyway). Thereâs no need for a sky wizard. And metabolism of cells has nothing to do with a âtruer selfâ (whatever that means). đ
Only theists claim that life arises from âscattered dustâ.
Still no meaningful definition provided.
