whats wrong with religion? some people want structure in their lives. and religion gives that to them. and there is a god-given consious we all have which is "right/wrong", which we acquired after adam & eve ate the fruit that the serpant tempted them into eating. thereby, their eyes were opened, and they knew good & evil just like god. eyes opened, as in, they saw themselves naked, but before, it was like natural, and beautiful, b/c is was perfect and godly. now, we are cursed by sin. along with physical pain, and mental. wars, and conflicts.
hypothesis is, hardship is and was caused by the sin of our first ancestors. adam and eve. |
There is a philosophical angle to this one, that I have yet to hear a satisfying answer to: Why can sin be inherited from ones ancestors - unless you see offspring as physical parts of their parents which have gained physical, yet not spiritual, autonomy? And if God really allows for sin to be inherited (thus, meaning we are all doomed unless he grants us mercy), why not just wipe out the entire human race in one go? After all, God does not need us as that would contradict him being omnipotent.
