What about the people before the bible?

Why hell? I thought the logical one is heaven. Illustration:

At August 15 2089 guns are made illegal by the government. So all the people carried guns AFTER August 15 are going to jail. They won't go and track down those who carried a gun before August 15 right? because before August 15, guns are legal (with license that is)

So ur statement seems kinda implying that the judgement of heaven and hell starts when bible is invented (althought I dunno if it really is the case), so before that, all people don't go to "jail" (hell) right?

And how is it a hole in the concept? I mean in our guns illustration, would it be unfair to start the guns law at August 15? no! , probably they make it after global craziness of people shooting at each other happened shortly before that, August 12 or whatever.

Adam and eve were the fore fathers of manking.

So we had fore Chinese fathers, one of whom was a woman.

What else have we learned today?

See, now, this is just silly. He said seven, not four.

Contrex, your joke fails due to geographical ignorance. No one in the United States associates Kansas with rampant incest. Next time the opportunity arises, refer to West Virgina or Kentucky.

Kentucy--five million people, 15 family names!

How did the West Virginia woman know her daughter was having her period? Because her son's dick tasted funny.

Your sneer will be more effective referring to one of those two states.

Getting back to the original topic, the Sumerians had Taimat and Abzu looking after them from around 4000 BC. Hindus have had their gods looking out for them since 1500 BC, longer than the God of the Jewish religion, (1400 BC) which is responsible for the Old Testament part of the Christian bible. Buddha has been rooting for his people since approximately 500 BC.

So you see Christianity (100 AD approx) and Islam (600 AD) are, in fact, the new guys on the block, so the answer is that people were doing fine way before Jebus and the bible came along.

Lots of smart asses on this one. Well the idea that one theory can conflict with another no longer amuses me.

In 'The Divine Comedy' Dante gives a special, more pleasant circle of Hell to pre-Chistian non-Biblical people of enlightenment. That kindof makes sense from both ends. I mean the Greeks expected more or less to go to hell minus the torture and punishment and if God doesn't care about you then the best you can hope for is just to be left alone right? And if you're not enlightened what is there in you to live on after death?

It's all fallacy of presupposition to me, but let's not degrade ourselves by jumping over top of one another to goof on it.

Because it's petty and cruel to do so.

Sure they give us a lot of batshit crazy stuff to laugh at - but there's a lot of them.

Not only that - there's a lot of them - there must be some functional aspect to monotheism.

We should neither eschew nor underestimate it.

I beg to differ.

I definitely intend to eschew the childish, petty, cruel, vindictive, racist cartoon god of the Bobble, and his goody-two-shoes "son." As for underestimating those clowns who subscribe to the nonsense, and would impose it on others--i don't underestimate the danger of the idiocy at all. One need only think of the millions killed because they wouldn't play along, or merely questioned the doctrine, or merely criticized the behavior and motives of church leaders.

Eschew them i certainly will. Underestimate them, no more than i would a timber rattler.

RA is my god for today.

Except I can not bask in his glow because I was baaaaaad and Ra went away to punish me. Oh weep and wail much gnashing of teeth and such like behavior.

If I am good and bow down to him 5 times a day will he bestow his almighty contenance upon his lowly subject.

Why there is no history of people before the Bible?

It took them so damn long to invent language, an alphabet, writing, something to write on, something to make the words, putting the words together in sentences, and on and on.

What dummies!
