[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Either God doesn't exist. Or God is incredibly cruel. [/quote]

That is simplistic and a misunderstanding of what God is and is not. If the world must be your literal Garden of Eden in order for God to exist, you have a ways to go on your path of understanding. Even Jesus suffered in Human form.[/quote]

But this whole Garden of Eden story does not make sense when you consider what we know about the Big Bang theory. Humans weren’t around at the start of the formation of life on earth so who is recording these stories. And how are we not all now genetically related to 2 people? How did we get different races on different continents just from Adam and Eve. Most reasonably educated Christians I know do not believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible.

Also, why is the Christian Bible with Eden the true religion and not any of the 4,200 world religions? Are the people who were born into Christianity just lucky to be have raised into the one true religion unlike those kids in remote villages who will never have the opportunity to be baptized? Why would God give some people a leg up on having the correct beliefs and not others?

The only logical conclusion is thar humans have made up stories to make sense of the world. Where you were born determines which set of stories you believe. And then in turn people go cause wars over these made up stories in the name of some God who would want them to murder people in His name? (Hint: the terrorists we hate also think they’re doing the Lord’s work).

I’ll add though that I’m not 100% sure there is no God or intelligent creator or something more out there we don’t understand. I just think the religious stories about the Garden of Eden and Noah’s Ark, etc. can be disproven by modern day genetics. Perhaps there is a God who loves us out there, but we humans sure like the weaponize our religious beliefs against women, gays, people with other beliefs, etc. and then vote to give ourselves a tax break for it.
