  this is a continuation of the discussion which sprang from an unrelated topic.. so according to genesis, who told the first lie?

  god told eve that if she ate from the tree of knowledge she would die that very same day.

  in response to that statement the devil told her she would not die.. eve ate from the tree and did not die.

  Is it evil to be naked?

  Only if you do it right

  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.

  Halcon:

  If I give you a definition, will you call it asinine like jeffro did?

  I was merely pulling you up on your earlier assertion that "asking for the correct definition of the word 'spirit' confirms you believe it exists".

  Does the fact that I asked you for a definition of unicorn mean that I believe unicorns exist? If you actually answer my question and offer a definition what does that say about your belief in unicorns?

  C'mon man, you need to put something on solid ground.

  Halcon, how would you define 'unicorn'?

  peacefulpete: Pursuing a hypothetical to it's logical end, can be revealing. In the case of the Yahwist creation myth, it can become a rabbit hole.

  Agreed. Whatever value can be drawn from these stories if they're treated as allegorical is lost the moment they're taken literally. I think part of it is the fear that not taking stories like the Fall literally will bring the whole house of cards down.

  If Adam and Eve didn't fall from grace in Eden then what did Jesus die for?

  Human parents have 'absolute power' over their newborn children for quite a few years.

  Although some sadly abuse this power most don't. We nurture, cherish and protect our children often at the cost of our own freedoms and dreams.

  We gently correct poor behaviour and explain ourselves in ways our children will understand. We don't hide the facts or lie to them.

  God could learn a lot from us

  Should we really be surprised that a being capable of such murderous atrocities is capable of lying to his children too?

  FragrantAddendum: he is not a "child killer"

  Oh please. Every child on earth drowned in a flood. Innocent Egyptian children killed in their beds. An innocent baby killed to punish it's adulterous parents.

  I could cite more examples all from the bible but what good would it do if you won't debate honestly?

  FragrantAddendum: @nicolaou, who are some people that you love?

  This topic isn't about me but as you asked, I'm a bit of a hippy really. I love pretty much everyone but I do draw the line at child killers.

  You know, like your god.

  FragrantAddendum: people keep lying about him

  I actually agree with this. "God is love" is one of the biggest lies ever told.
