Did the Christian God create us sick and order us to bewell?

Salvation can only be had by believers if they embracebarbaric human sacrifice and a God who will immorally have his own son murderedas a sacrifice to forgive sin when other more moral ways are preached inscriptures.

Matthew 7:17,18
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but acorrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can acorrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Matthew 12:33
Neither make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else makethe tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

Christians would have us think that God, the good tree, ---produced corrupt fruit. Scriptures say that that is not possible. If youbelieve scriptures that say God is perfect that is.

Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his work is perfect:

If God creates perfect works and souls, how can man not beperfect?

If perfect, why would we need salvation?

Don't worry dude. This religion thingy is all just a scam. You know, like a telemarketer. Nothing to worry about here. Just go about reality like it was real.

But is reality real? Investigate the holographic universe. You may change your mind.

The day will come when some people arrive from out space and the whole
religion thing will come unravelled. Jews and Muslims Christians and the
Buddhists will go home and tend their gardens. No one can save you, you
must save yourself, But save yourself from what? Why yourself of course.
There is nothing nuttier than that.

As we go from birth we gradually lose that perfection.
If it were posible for children to grow up without the influence of messed up adults, they may grow up perfect. It's a theory of mine but would be damn near impossible to prove.

Nope- We are imperfect- It takes time to learn, to change and to grow.

I just came across this gem:

"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them." ~ Galileo Galilei

Very simple - because God is the creator of all evil Isaiah 45:7.

Thus, while his creation is perfect, he is not so.

That is what evil religionists want us to do so that they are not obstructed in their evil.
And you fall for it and end helping evil grow.
Please reconsider and fin your social conscience.

It is my view that all literalists and fundamentals hurt all of us whoare moral religionists as well as those who do not believe. They all hurt theirparent religions and everyone else who has a belief or not. They make us allinto laughing stocks and should rethink their position. There is a Godhead butnot the God of talking animals, genocidal floods and retribution. Beliefs infantasy, miracles and magic are evil.

Hmm.
I see day 2 as day 1 evolving to a more perfect form and on and on until death.
I call it evolving perfection.

Care for a small thinking exercise.

I like to use the term evolving perfection for nature. Otherwise, aperfect God or nature becomes a stagnant pool of information and our souls andconsciousness as a part of that perfection would be useless to the universe.

Evolving, the perfection of whatever God and nature was, to whatever Godand nature will be, means we have to think this way, unless you see God assomehow losing his initial perfection. This is not allowed in a perfect God’s or natures repertoire.

When this was written, most thought it to just be a cynical view of lifebut I think it is quite true and irrefutable, based on the anthropic principleand pure logic.

What do you think?

Candide.
"It is demonstrable that things cannot be otherwise than as theyare; for as all things have been created for some end, they must necessarily becreated for the best end.”

This is done by nature and not a God but would be a requirement of a Godif he were real.

I would have thought by now you would have noticed that the Bible is full of contradictions. The Bible was written by men not God. In most cases the men who wrote it were not "Rhodes scholars" but more likely shepherds and such. A lot of stuff in those days was passed along from mouth to ear to mouth.

Yes and thank God for that or we would still be as bright as bricks and living in stupid ignorant bliss.

That is why the Jews saw Eden as man's elevation. Then Christians reversed it to a fall because there was more money in it.

I knew of this and use it to contrast this Christian gem.

“Faith must trample under footall reason, sense, and understanding.”

“Reason is a *****, thegreatest enemy that faith has.”
Martin Luther


I like this one too.

It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was neverreasoned into.

No argument here for sure.

Oh no. Cliffy got me into quote mode.

I agree completely but think the Romans who created the bible to be quite bright.

You would be wrong to think that they were not a sophisticated people.

I think Socrates and his pals would argue that quite hard.

In reality, none. It is all myth.

In the myth, all of it if you give Rome the dominion that they think they had in the holy land.

I do not see the relevance of the question.
