Religiosity

40. Having a photo op with a Bible doesn't make one a Christian.

Old Testament and New Testament have a lot of differences.

There is a lot of anger and smiting in the Old Testament.

More forgiveness and do onto others as you would have done to you in the New Testament.

I don't see Adam and Eve quite as simplistically as it can be taught

To me, consuming "knowledge of good and evil," was what wrecked them. It is said, Lucifer planted that tree. It messed with their minds. Maybe being in the Garden of Eden required a more open mind. Not one filled with rules and judgement.

Maybe going out of the garden was a way to unlearn the crap that popped into their mind when they ate the apple.

Maybe it's more of a metaphor.

Those who try to interpret the Bible 100% literally are missing the whole context I think.
