Houellebecq

Adam and Eve would have had several sons and daughters. I don't know what makes you assume that Eve was the only women around. You could reasonably conclude she had daughters. In other words in the early days brothers and sisters had babies (which of course meant having sex). As the earth was populated God in His wisdom outlawed this practice. As for the colour of there skin I would imagine it was olive. They certainly did not evolve from monkeys as many who fantatise would have you believe

I think you will find that modern psychology supports the idea that all men have gods of some kind. If that is true, it seems that if any of us sat on the couch we would be counselled to confess our particular ones.
The claim that " your god is too small " might be challenged by " where did you hear that? " or " takes one to know one ".
Confession of obsession is a good thing - it seems to me , for all of us . The failure to not do so, more problematic. The question of denial is something real to an outsider here, is it not ??
For our instigator to not recognize the evidence that gods are neccesary is more than an oversight.On the surface, yes faith can drive men too far and too hard . But without faith we seem to have a "failure to inspire men" imperative - to call for no gods is a tall order when most of the men we admire , as well as those whom we don't, talk with a "strong faith"element )
Perhaps some peoples gods are just micro images of themselves or just smaller than themselves - something that invokes magic or fear of it - or juts sits on the shelf till they need it ? The question might then become "Is your/their god too small?"http://graceware.blogspot.com

Yes, runner, your "god" changes the rules when it happens to suit the priests. After the fact, and if anyone notices.

What has always been the case is that there is a population. A&E are a good metaphor for early settlers, later joined by others, not an alternative to evoluion.

You display your ignorance when you trot out Wilberforce's old line. It was well demolished within seconds of being utterred. You might want to read up on evolution. What pastor tells you is clearly pap for suckers.

Any time you want to trot out a genuine objection, you might stop being an example of why fundies are anything other than a hindrance.

Dear Rusty Catheter,
God DOES NOT GHANGE. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I am afraid it is mans world view and word meaning that changes. I am sure if you research the bible as a book you would find it has more evidence to supportit its authenticy than any other littery work ever written in history. Just because you do not accept that fact does not make it any less relevent.

Rusty you write

'Yes, runner, your "god" changes the rules when it happens to suit the priests. '

Only a foolish arrogant person would question God's right to change, add or adjust the rules. I know His character is righteous, holy, truthful and unchanging very unlike you.

The fact that your moral relativism leads to more sexual abuse than even the perverted homosexual Catholic priests probably has not occurred to you.

Runner,

"You "know" his character"

Nope. You have been told a fiction that (a) it exists and (b) that such and so is it's character.

Fiction can be anything. The author can even write "this is true" inside the cover. Don't make it so. Hubbard tried that too.

Keep on trying. Alternatively, get that education and you could be of use.

Rusty
