Object: Adam/ Eve's sin and the torture of Jesus/God = Atonement
Adam/ Eve's sin and the torture of Jesus/God =3D Atonement
God created A&E beings knowing from the start that they would not
please him. And when they would not please him, he knew he would have
to arrange to have the humans torture and kill him/God in the form of
Jesus so that he could forgive them for being the way he created them
to be and the way he knew they would be from the beginning. And he
knew, at the beginning, that if people did not accept that he would do
something so utterly ridiculous, he would have to cast them into hell
where they would weep and gnash their teeth in a lake of fire forever.
All this to please his own fragile ego, apparently.
This is the most ridiculous concept I have ever been asked to accept,
and I don't accept it. I cannot accept that an all knowing, all
perfect, all good God would be such a sadistic idiot. Apparently
Christians can.
God sacrificed himself to himself to satisfy his anger and human beings
for being exactly the way he created them to be and for being exactly
the way he knew they would be from the beginnning of time. And yet God
now threatens to torture people for eternity if they don't believe that
he is stupid enough to do something like this.
It constantly amazes me that Christians can pretend that this makes
some kind of sense.

Obviously, it was our own choice. Nobody forced Adam

and

Eve

to eat from the tree of knowledge.


The fable is flawed. A & E had no knowledge that they

were

doing

wrong before they ate.


Not true. They knew it was wrong, but they couldn't

resist

the

temptation.


Nope. Gen 3:22 makes it perfectly clear that they

didn't

know

that it was wrong.


Gen 3:22 And the Lord God said, Now the man has become

like

one

of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he

puts

out

his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he

will

go

on

living for ever.

Strange. Are you sure it's Gen 3:22?


Yes, loon. Before this point the verse makes clear that they

had

no

knowledge of good and evil.


That depends on how you define as having the knowledge of

good

and

evil. In my opinion, even your dog knows what is good and

what

is

evil without the need to make any moral judgement.


But only after you punish it/reward it. You must teach it
right from wrong. It has no innate moral system.


Not true. Your teaching them right from wrong is based on

their

ability to know that reward is good and punishment is bad.

Otherwise

you won't be able to teach them anything.


You are a fool. Dogs have zero sense of right and wrong. They

only

know

reward and punishment.


Their reaction to reward and punishment is their sense of right

and

wrong.


It is not a moral judgment, loon. It is a simple statement of
like/dislike.


I'm not talking about moral judgment in this case. Good/evil is

not

limited to moral judgment only.


Of course it is. Where do you come up with this crap?


Moral judgment is only a mental projection or reflection of

good/evil.

It is not the good/evil itself. Therefore, no moral judgment doesn't
mean no good/evil.


The reasons for the rules will be forever unknown

by the dog.


They don't have to care.


That is why they have no morals.


They have their own morals.


They have no morals, loon. You are trying to redefine the word to

mena

something it doesn't.


They don't have *your* morals, but as intelligent life, they follow
their own morals. Morality is not something only known to humans.


Yes, it is, idiot. Go trying that ***** to a biologist or even an Xian
preacher.


If you insist, then only humans are capable to corrupt the moral of
their life, all the rest living creatures can only follow the moral
that was given to them by God.

Animals don't have moral, idiot.

Normally: reward = pleasure

Doesn't take much for an animal to know pleasure and pain.

If you can recognize that a dog can tell the difference between
pleasure and pain, you know the dog is telling you what they know
about good and evil with their own particular expression.

Not true. They knew it was wrong, but they couldn't resist the

Nope. Gen 3:22 makes it perfectly clear that they didn't

that it was wrong.


Gen 3:22 And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one

Strange. Are you sure it's Gen 3:22?


Yes, loon. Before this point the verse makes clear that they had
no knowledge of good and evil.


That depends on how you define as having the knowledge of good and
evil. In my opinion, even your dog knows what is good and what is
evil without the need to make any moral judgement.


But only after you punish it/reward it. You must teach it
right from wrong. It has no innate moral system.


Not true.


Yes, it is true. I've owned dogs. Dogs have no innate moral
system.


That depends on how you define moral system. There are different moral
systems either from dog's eyes or from human's eyes.



Your teaching them right from wrong is based on their
ability to know that reward is good and punishment is bad.


Normally: reward = pleasure
punishment = pain

Doesn't take much for an animal to know pleasure and pain.
Pretty rudimentary.

Didja have anything else?


If you can recognize that a dog can tell the difference between
pleasure and pain, you know the dog is telling you what they know
about good and evil with their own particular expression.

Nonsense. Morality has a compoenent of being empathetic towards other
peoples' pain and happiness. A dog has no conception.

Dear Eric:
Before she ate the fruit she surly new the "Good" but maybe not the "evil".
Your reference doesn't mention that she new the "evil". The results of her
disobedience to the command that her mate surely taught her, brought on the
evil. Please note how she "stretches things" buy adding "not even to touch"
it. Typical female reaction :-). IMHO, that "apple" was probably an
aphrodisiac type fruit. Since that sexual urge is in most all of mankind,
it's effect has awakened much of humanity and therefore has been transmitted
throughout all of mankind at one time or other.

I agree Eve had no ability to make independent "moral judgment", but
that does not mean Eve had no sense of good and evil before eating
from the tree. All life forms demonstrate certain level of
intelligence. In animal kingdom, we call it animal instinct. To Adam
and Eve, their natural instinct is their sense of good and evil before
eating from the tree of knowledge.

Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and a
delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of
its fruit, and gave it to her husband.

This is the proof that Adam and Eve *knew* good and evil before they
ate the fruit. The difference is, before they ate the fruit, they had
no ability to judge good and evil by themselves, after they ate the
fruit, they became like God and were able to judge good and evil all
by themselves.


Crappola. The woman isn't making a moral judgement of the tree you loon,
she is making a determination of edibility.


Correct. I think that is my point.


No, loon, it isn't. You are trying to use Eve's edible/inedible decision
as
evidence that she knew good/evil. Eve had no sense of good and evil before
eating from the tree.


I agree Eve had no ability to make independent "moral judgment", but
that does not mean Eve had no sense of good and evil before eating
from the tree.

What is the difference between " sense of good and evil" and "moral
judgement" ?

Sense of good and evil is like a natural instinct that is not
associated with any predetermined mental concept. Moral judgment is a
thinking process that involves mental projection and determination.
Sense of good and evil comes naturally by birth. Moral judgment is a
product of later education.

Non-fucking-sense. Babies are born with no sense of good and evil at
all, and believe the world exists only to satisy their needs. I don't
know where you come up with this crap, but it is clear you don't have a
clue in hell.
