As an agnostic, I always wanted to believe in a God, I really wanted someone to come up with empirical evidence of a creator, so I can rest assured that theres an afterlife of paradise. It REALLY WOULD BE NICE!!! However, what I AM sure of, is that I'd rather no God at all than the petty, vindictive, bastard you call God.
Youre judged on someone elses failings. sometimes, but curiously, not always, killed shortly after birth for Adams sins. Even you admit that its wrong for humans to kill other humans for the crime of being human, but its OK for God to do it. He gave us free will as individuals, but still judges the entire species for the crimes of one. Were still his toys, it seems. *Shudder*

Like the other post, I try to explain what the scripture says. I feel like I have a pretty good understand of the message God is trying to give to us. That's why when you asked me questions I try to answer them how I think the bible means for them to be. But if I consider that the Bible is truely the word of God than it becomes apparent to me why it is so difficult to understand. For someone who created everything must also be able to write a book that is as difficult and misunderstood as the bible. Why it is not "dumbed down" for us? Maybe because even more people would blame it as the writtings of man. But anyway, back to my point. Even if you don't accept the bible as the word of God I still would like you to understand the concepts that it teaches.
