An interesting discussion came up tonight in a forum I frequent - What was going on with the snake and the tree and the fruit in the Garden of Eden?General agreement by most that it was a story of not obeying and suffering punishment for it. That's the story I heard in Sunday School and apparently most others did as well. But I thought about it for the first time since I was a little kid, with adult cynicism and now I'm not sure... Here's my thinking and I'm sure I'm not the first to think…See More
Aiken Drums Sister replied to Davis Goodman's discussion 'Awe struck'"I completely agree with the idea of doing away with the use of "spirituality". First off, it's a word about Spirit - it's right there, the word! As a rational atheist I just can't get behind spirit. Second,…"
David Smith replied to Aiken Drums Sister's discussion 'That's just my religion...'"yup, no argument, i was drunk and got completely side tracked there.

Ed replied to Aiken Drums Sister's discussion 'That's just my religion...'""I actually think it's a negative when you say "It's because of my religion" when you say something stupid. It's like saying "... and I said that because I chose not to think about it."."

Pope Beanie replied to Aiken Drums Sister's discussion 'That's just my religion...'"Absolutely. It enables the believer to bypass evidence and reality, and enables sociopathic behavior--e.g. from declining immunization to using a suicide vest on innocent people, or even genocide.

Aiken Drums Sister replied to Aiken Drums Sister's discussion 'That's just my religion...'"Carly and David, I think you miss my point.

David Smith replied to Aiken Drums Sister's discussion 'That's just my religion...'"People have claimed statement to be fact with less basis, at least you recognise it.

Carly replied to Aiken Drums Sister's discussion 'That's just my religion...'"Because we're not allowed to criticize religion and I think that most .. conservative, religious people just assume those statements were said because of the religion of whoever said them.
