Humans are on planet Earth by the end of the first chapter in Genesis. Adam is not mentioned in Gen 1.

The parable of Eden is the subject of Gen 2.

Adam is not necessarily a human, rather Adam is Man. He represents the evolved homo erectus, with our self awareness

I've wondered this about the Adam and Eve stuff.   

  • If there were other animals in the Garden of Eden, were there mating/breeding pairs or just male animals like Adam.  If it was just males, when God created Eve, did he create all of the rest of the female animals?  If he created mating/breeding pairs, then that means all animals alive today evolved from just 2 animals.  That's a lot of inbreeding.
  • The Garden of Eden would have been somewhere in proximity to the Levant.   How did animals that only live in North and South America get there?  
  • Were animals that God created in the Garden sin free as well until Adam and Eve fucked around and found?  Does that mean that a loving and benevolent God doomed all of his creations to lives of pain and death only because his humans fucked up?  Or did the other animals in the Garden live and die there meaning he made things expendable.  
  • Why didn't God create Adam, and Eve, without the ability to sin?
  • Why tempt them?

Maybe Depeche Mode was right...  God's got a sick sense of humor.

Exodus 33:12-23:  Basically Moses asks to see God, but God only wants him to check out his backside.   I guess He was working out or got a cute new outfit to accentuate His assets.

Oh I don’t know. I thought the part where God went up to Adam and was like “How much for just one rib?” was pretty funny.

So who is Adam’s mother? 

Adam isn’t one person. He represents the species that is capable of self awareness and the ability to comprehend God (the universe; both seen and unseen.)

That awareness evolved inside a creature already possessing instincts for survival. The Fall of the parable is an attempt to separate those impulses, such as self preservation, aka original sin, from the morality that derives from the newly developed self awareness.

The quince (apple) from the tree of knowledge. Becoming self aware. Focusing on logical inconsistency is not the path to understanding the parable.

My sister isn’t QAnon but she is generic Trumptard.  Aggie of course.  She just reposted this on Facebook.  
 

three things:

I care about her so pointing out she’s regarded isn’t an option. I feel like they leverage that fact all the time.  It’s impolite to point out they are dumb so dumbness just keeps spreading. 
 

You see dumb shit on FB all the time, but how dumb can we get that she doesn’t realize the very fact that she’s seeing the post means it’s not banned. 
 

It isn’t enough to just post the Lord’s Prayer. You have to do it in a manner that says you’re sticking it to your perceived enemy. She is a fairly devout woman, but it honestly makes me wonder how much is a facade for some other purposes. 

I post something on FB.  I don’t want to dox myself so I won’t say it exactly, but it is very very mild political comment, which is definitely a first for me. Up to now I’ve been strict 0 politics on FB.  The comment though is about discouraging certain negativity from entering politics, and aimed at no side in particular, at least not explicitly.* it was so mild that I get the ol’ “like” from everyone across the political spectrum, 100% certain trump voters included.  
 

My sister has the temerity to tell me not to post politics.  Some of her previous posts:

image.thumb.jpeg.6231eb4562e5fa22c3235ad0f00cfe9c.jpeg

 

 

Again, the situation is as my previous quoted post.  It would be very easy to post those images in response to her telling me to keep politics off Facebook. That would only fracture our relationship. The onus is ALWAYS on the other side to be the bigger man in a MAGA v reality dispute.  
 

It just makes me not respect her.  It’s sad.  I know she’s left self awareness behind.  I know she’s so fragile that my innocuous comment got her riled up. I question her intelligence. I know that’s there is 0.0% chance that she’d see her previous posts and think “oops, I was out of line and wrong.”


*I’ll admit that my initial comment was not 100% innocent.  The topic was aimed at bad behavior that the right does more of than the left. And their increasing reliance on that tactic spurred me to post it.

This is pretty similar to how my children were taught. Although, the Tree of Knowledge represented the knowledge of moral choices. Knowing right from wrong and making moral choices. Similarly, it was the evolution of awareness.

I told my crazy ass, MAGA cult cousin that hopefully she doesn't kill her 2 year old with her nutty anti-vax views. If it ruins our relationship I don't really care. She's a dangerous nut job.

You know why democrats always have to be the adults? Because we spent decades not calling stupid stupid when we see it. You’re doing her a disservice by biting your tongue.

So, below is a direct quote from someone on Facebook.  They were responding to a friend of mine who posted something negative about Trump.  My friend that posted his comment hates Trump and this was a response from one of his friends.  You can’t reason with this kind of idiocy below.  By the way, when he talks about my friends business being horrible it may have been but he is one of the richest people I know (family wealth from his parents) so while his business had a bad year last year he is still voting for Kamala.  I love how his friend talks about Kamala coming to take his guns away.  I thought Obama was going to do that yet he was in office for 8 years and it didn’t happen.  Then Biden was going to take them away and nothing the last 4 years.  Now Kamala is going to take your guns.  These people are too stupid to realize they have been lied to over and over again by the Republican Party. 

 

Just hope your not blinded by the lies of the liberals. I thought you, of all people were much smarter than this. Never figured you for a Socialist. The only goal of the Dems is to beat Trump. Not help our country thrive.  They want to take our guns away from us. And we know you like hunting and shooting. And protecting your family from uncertain dangers.Along with all of the money they will tax You with. Tell me your fair business has thrived in the last 4 years. You can't because it hasn't! You even told Me that last year was horrible. I want what is best for our border and our freedom. Not Kamala saying she's gonna lower tax on tips. After TRUMP said it was part of his economic plan 3 months ago. The liberals could have done it 4 years ago. But haven't done shit. Not even a thought until now. Why?? Because they are lying to us. They SELECTED YOUR CHOICE. NOT ELECTED YOUR CHOICE!!! Another illegal move by the dems.

Someone had to pawn their Camaro and get a second mortgage on their mobile home to buy that, and the 150’ extension cord they plug into their neighbor’s outdoor outlet at night to charge it with.

Saw this kid on CNN earlier.  He is very much aiming for a high position in politics one day.  Not sure if he has the charisma, but clearly a smart kid and has a lot of passion.
