    What if you are God?

    What if you are God?

    Ah, well I confess the title is designed to spark people's interest. It might be considered offensive if you take it out of the contest of the actual post. That's sort of where we keep getting hung up on in these debates more than anything else isn't it? IMO contest is everything.

    What if you are God?

    WOW! I have to confess that I am shocked that not a single person will even TRY to take the OP seriously! And Don't give me that - "well, Your not God so it's a stupid game" Stuff. If you post on these forms at all you spend a LOT of time explaining God - or your view of him to other people...

    How do you explain the talking snake??

    Question - Well, context then question- I've always read Genesis 3:15 as the first prophesy of the coming messiah. I've always thought that way because I believe that the Genesis Stories speak symbolically of an actual event. I have always seen the snake as a symbol for the devil who first...

    We are not to hurt anyone for any reason.

    I would just like to point out that it is largely due to that ''ungodly" man that you can say some of the things that's you've said in this string (heck what I'VE" said too) without actually being afraid of someone hunting us down and burning us at the stake for heresy. That being said, the...
