VioletKitty411 @ Toronto888 Youtube gathering
Here’s a clip from the end of a conversation VioletKitty411 and I had at the Toronto888 Youtube gathering.
Unless you’re old school you may not know who VioletKitty411 is. Long story short, she was the #1 antagonist (or victim depending on your point-of-view) of the early Youtube atheists back in 2006. (She was also the first target of an Atheist Jihad).
It was certainly an interesting conversation, far deeper than you’d expect!

god…A good father?
Todays Sunday lesson will include more absurdities in Genesis and a question about Adam and Eve at the end.

God is love? Not even tough love.

Genesis
Noah sends a dove out to see if there was any dry land. But the dove returns without finding any. Then, just seven days later, the dove goes out again and returns with an olive leaf. But how could an olive tree survive the flood? And if any seeds happened to survive, they certainly wouldn’t germinate and grow leaves within a seven day period. 8:8-11
(certainly this must have been a magic olive tree grown by the almighty himself!)
"Into your hand are they (the animals) delivered." God gave the animals to humans, and they can do whatever they please with them. This verse has been used by bible believers to justify all kinds of cruelty to animals and environmental destruction. 9:2
God is rightly filled with remorse for having killed his creatures. He makes a deal with the animals, promising never to drown them all again. He even puts the rainbow in the sky so that whenever he sees it, it will remind him of his promise so that he won’t be tempted to do it again. (Every time God sees the rainbow he says to himself: "Oh, yeah…. That’s right. I promised not to drown the animals again. I guess I’ll have to find something else to do."). 9:9-13 (side note: Rainbows are produced because of the refractive index of light passing through water droplets, NO divinity there, hence the colorful spectrum of white light.)
In the spirit of the hyperbole in this book the bible, a quick question about adam and eve, god creates 2 humans, we are to assume they must have created fully grown, I would expect them then, to have the mind of a child, this "god" is their "father," he gives them some pretty general do’s and don’ts, then some "magical" serpent tricks Eve into doing what she wasn’t suppose to do, in turn she gets Adam to do it too, god finds out and delivers the harshest punishment imaginable, DEATH! Not only death to them but to all human kind and all that lives on this planet, just because this monster, "god" wasn’t a good father who could have displayed compassion and understanding for creatures that were just beign what all children are, they are curious, innocent and they have a knack for doing what they aren’t suppose to do, in our everyday lives what would you think of parents who, because their children did something they were not suppose to do, those self said parents condemned their children to death?
