No, the people as a whole decide whether that is right or wrong, using murder as an example is going a bit far. What he is saying is that not everyone is willing to submit to a higher power they don't necessarily believe in. And they do, they have the right to live their life the way they see fit without harassment from those trying to convince them of otherwise.

Exactly :)

Even though the serpent Satan persuaded Eve into eating that all-important apple it was she alone who decided to eat it. Humans were engineered by none other then God to be curious, vindictive and lustful, along with the dozens of other "bad" traits all of us possess. Eve made up her own mind rather than taking what God had said as the truth and was punished severely for it. God cursed the life he had created because He no longer had complete control over the minds of His creations.

So much for "God is good", eh?

I dont quite get what youre saying..God said dont eat the apple from that tree and she did. she sinned its as simple as that, God knew she was gonna sin.

and he never had complete control over our minds..otherwise he could just make us love him and it wouldnt be true love.

Ah. And who is God to decide what we may and what we may not do?

I am technically Christian, but I don't believe in God. I just find it hard to believe in spirits.

I'm Jewish, and I really dislike the fact that you peeps like Jesus, or whoever. Well, not dislike, just disagree.

I guess that is where you and I differ.

I refuse to be a slave or a guinnea pig to some higher power. :)

ummm...dude, If someone makes you and gives you life, and continually blesses you. I think you kinda owe it to him to obey him. O_o

Thats the way I feel anyway.

and were not guinnea pigs or slaves, God is very gracious and easily forgives your sins :)

Uh-huh. We all have equal chances in life and all that, right?

Every time my life becomes even remotely fun to live something occurs that ****s everything up. I'd say that if there is a God he laughs in my face.

You guys keep saying that God created us and He is our ruler, but there is no hardcore evidence of this, is there? There are things that hint at it and lean in that direction, but there is nothing to say to those who don't believe "See this? This is solid proof that He is real and our sovereign ruler". All of the existing evidence is debatable, and the story of Christ is just too hard for most people to believe. It's just another form of mythology to them. Not everyone is going to believe what you believe, so your opinion that God is our creator and ruler, though fine for you to live by, may not be for the rest of the population.

And I'm not meaning offence by this, it's only the opinion I've developed over years and years of being forced against my will to attend church.

I'm an Atheist. Until there is concrete evidence for me to believe that a God does exist, then I have no reason to believe in any god.

God does not need to show solid evidence that he is here. There is evidence all around, only those too ignorant and plagued by their own views to realize it.

The only ones ignorant are those that accept what they have been told about creation without question. :blush:
