Actually, yes!And you have a hotline to god, perhaps?.
Thank you.You seem to know an awful lot about god's psyche.
How so?See above about the example of Cain and Abel. That seems ex post facto to me.

Since Cain was punished at the time of his action and not after the passage of a law then it doesn't qualify as ex post facto. It's more a matter of definition than a narrow-minded Biblical principle.You stated that god doesn't pass ex post facto laws. Yet we have the story of Cain and Abel mentioned in Genesis 4. Only by Genesis 9 does god say murder is bad. How do you explain this ex post facto law in your narrow-minded biblical way?
Hi all,
I just had a thought. According to the Bible, we are all descendants of Adam and Eve. If this is true, then Adam and Eve must have had sexual intercourse in order to give birth to offspring. The male offspring must have had to have sexual intercourse with either eve or the female offspring in order to continue the lineage. It seems to me that we must have gotten to this point through incest of massive scale. Yet the Bible forbids incest in Leviticus and Deuteronomy.
This leads to only one logical conclusion: Either this god who forbids incest is so absent minded that he could not foresee that mankind had to engage in incest in order to continue or he knew we would have to engage in incest and forbade it on purpose because he is evil.
In either case god is not an entity to be worshiped. He is supposed to be omni-max. The Judeo-Christian god clearly isn't.
Thoughts? Please feel free to point out why my post is stupid if you think it is.
