Yuyutsu: the telling of these stories is a matter of culture, not religion. I will not go into whether or not these stories are true, there may also be some merit in them too, just let us keep our perspective please.

I have no problem with that. It was the gist of my story. The Torah, Bible, Koran, The Indian Stories of their Gods etc are just Local Cultural Stories. Nothing more. There is no Primevil God, Supreme Being or any other unknown higher Creator Being.

The Stories of how Man came to be, are primative peoples examples of where everything came from. These stories are sacred to the People, Culture & places they come from.

How does God work in the World?

God doesn't. Man does. Man, tries to force Man's Beliefs, Culture & Stories on other People. This is where it all goes wrong. It has nothing to do with a, non-existant, God. Man creates Good & Bad in the form of Power over other Peoples.

By the way if find that the Jewish Tribe traces it history from one Man named Yehwah & a Woman named Asherah about 3958 BC.
