the two different creation stories in genesis contradict each other in the matter of the order of the creation of man and vegetation.
in the first story, vegetation was created on the third day, and three days later man was created.
however, in the second creation story, there was no vegetation before man.
Why is it then that the first story of the creation claims that it was the product of the gods (elohim), but the second story claims that it was the product of the mithological tribal Jewish war god Yaweh?

according to our divorce agreement between my ex and i, i would get our daughters all school holidays in exchange for memorial day, and the other three yearly propaganda meetings.
key is that she had to tell me their dates by february 2 of the year in session.
she did not tell me, so i told her that i would not let her have them next thursday unless she talked to me about religion for two hours.
Actually the point was that I wanted to talk to her about her religion, but she risked not having them for the memorial for two lousy hours talking about religion. It is important to me that she learns to think for herself, so that in case that I die, our kids will not be slaves to the witchtower.
I had the backing of the court appointed psychiatrist to get full custody, but I know how important it is for children to have contact with both parents.
Kids actually don't like going to the memorial or meetings, etc. They told me themselves they'd rather go to their regulary scheduled swimming classes than to the memorial.
I am happier than ever to have left the Borg. Seein her throwing all those ad hominem attacks, made me realize that she could have been me acting like her if I had stayed in the Zero Mind Zone.

Any thoughts?

why is it that modern justice says entrapment is unfair?
are they more just than god?
consider the case of adam and eve: there they were, more innocent than any humans who had ever lived.
Actually, man was the smartest thing alive. Remember that the second chapter of Genesis tells us that man was the first thing created. Then Jehovah created the animals, plants, and finally, since the wise god Jehovah could not find a mate for Adam among the animals, he created Eve from Adam´s rib bone. Since the snake was an animal, it was created after man (but before woman.) It flows that the snake had more experience than Eve, but less than Adam. The snake was an animal, not a demon, unless that this demon was so smart that it fooled Jehovah into believing that he was a snake. How could then the Jewish war god punish Satan to crawl into its belly and eat dust? Remember that at those times snakes ate vegetation only. Same as T-rex and other dinasours. Now thanks to J, snakes, as everyone knows, eat dust. No need to worry about a snake bite anymore since J´s punishment to snakes. Animals were smart then, How could J not notice that something was fishy when the humans told him that a snake spoke? J punished a snake, not good ol' Lucifer

in my religious and cultural heritage, human sacrifice has always been abhored.
yet, that is what the christ was; a human sacrifice.. the jewish writings condemned human sacrifice, but the christians reveled in the notion that a man died in their place.. human sacrifice is the foundation of the christian faith.
they are no better than the mayans!.
Valis,
The picture you sent is seen by many as an astronaut. It was also featured in the book "Chariots of the Gods".
By the time the Spanish came to America, the Maya civilization had already declined, but they had contact with other tribes.
The reason that Hernan Cortes was able to talk to Moctezuma, king of the Mexica-Aztecs, is that on their trip of exploration along the Grijalba River they had a bloody battle with the Mayas. To their surprise they found that one of their lieutenants was a Spaniard who had fallen in love with a Maya girl and fought against the Spanish. They also rescued a Catholic priest who together with the Maya/Spanish Lieutenant had been taken prisoners in an earlier battle.
The Priest accompanied Cortes, and by this time this priest spoke the Maya language. The Maya chieftain gave as tribute to Cortez a girl who spoke not only Maya but also Nahuatl, which was the language Mexica-Aztecs spoke. Her name was Malintzin. The ending "-tzin" indicates that she was of noble ancestry. To make a story short, When Cortez arrived in Veracruz, Moctezuma's emisaries were there in a couple of days. When they wanted to talk to Cortez, Malitzin would translate from Nahuatl to Maya to the Spanish priest, and the Spanish priest would translate from Maya to Spanish to Cortez, which by the way was cousin to Francisco Pizarro, the conqueror of the Inca empire.
The Incas had sporadic human sacrifices, but the Aztecs periodically sacrificed tens of thousands of their Tlaxcaltecan neighbors in their "Flowery" wars, which only purpose was to obtain sacrificial victims to their war god Huitzilopochtli to give him their hearts. The rest of the body was consumed by the people in a ceremonial banquet on which the only person who was forbidden to eat from the sacrificial victim was the warrior who had captured him. This was because he was considered to be like the father of the victim.

interestingly, how you would respect a witness in court room, and he will come.
the next day and... change his story because he has a 'new light' and now the poor.
accused is guilty.
This is why call them Jehovah's Pharisees. No insult to the Pharisees intended.

i find the name "jehovah" repugnant.
if i ever hear that name again i will surely throw up!
as if "jehovah" is god's real name anyway.
What makes you think that there is a god?
Why couldn't there be a goddess?
Why not gods or goddesses?
Why do people assume that the bible is the word of the only true god, if there is one?
If you look at the bible without faith and religious prejudice you will note that the Jewish god should be in jail for crimes against individuals and humanity. Even Zeus was a gentler god.
Why aren't we killing and burning animals to satisfy him?
If his laws were so perfect, why don't we still stone to death our children? Why don't we sacrifice our daughters to him?
We should keep on doing this crazy things if we believe in him. If his laws were perfect in the past, they should be perfect now.
He was so powerful that he kept on killing dead animals over and over in Egypt. He kept his people fed with manah in the desert, but there were enough sheep to feed three million people in the desert at least once a year. People could not shit in the camp, but that camp had to be at least 20 miles in diameter. People in the center had to travel 10 miles each way to take a shit. They had to have camels, donkeys, and horses to move their belongings. Were these animals fed manah too?
Talk about gullible.
