I mean, he does care about us, right?

But metaphors are true and creation is true or evolution could not longer be.
Birth of Christ is true but not the way we might think it is, and this same goes for the rest of it.

Metaphors are conventional words used to point at non-conventional (spiritual) events.

Like, oh, I don't know... Make Earth a paradise so no one would have a motive to sin, make people imortal (and stop reproduction at the same time), give everybody everything they need, any number of things, I mean, he can do anything, right?

ok...so...i don't get what so hard about answering a simple question.

let me say this again.

according to the bible and the definition of genocide, god did commit genocide...right!!

once again let me say, not if it was right or wrong but that he did it.

damn.

He did, it was called the Garden of Eden. But you don't need a motive to sin.

Quote:

God provided a tree of immortality, and Adam and Eve would have eaten from it had they not sinned

Quote:

give everybody everything they need,

He did, in the Garden of Eden, but Adam and Eve still weren't satisfied.

Quote:

any number of things, I mean, he can do anything, right?

Anything that doesn't defy His nature sure.
