The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult

[Macanudo 13318]

I've wondered this about the Adam and Eve stuff.   

• If there were other animals in the Garden of Eden, were there mating/breeding pairs or just male animals like Adam.  If it was just males, when God created Eve, did he create all of the rest of the female animals?  If he created mating/breeding pairs, then that means all animals alive today evolved from just 2 animals.  That's a lot of inbreeding.
• The Garden of Eden would have been somewhere in proximity to the Levant.   How did animals that only live in North and South America get there?  
• Were animals that God created in the Garden sin free as well until Adam and Eve fucked around and found?  Does that mean that a loving and benevolent God doomed all of his creations to lives of pain and death only because his humans fucked up?  Or did the other animals in the Garden live and die there meaning he made things expendable.  
• Why didn't God create Adam, and Eve, without the ability to sin?
• Why tempt them?

Maybe Depeche Mode was right...  God's got a sick sense of humor.

The simplest answer is that it’s all a myth created by Bronze Age tribesmen who didn’t know where the sun goes at night. In the version of the story where man is created first and woman is created later to keep him company, I think it’s implied that the animals are created in both genders as you’d expect. I don’t think the original audience was expected to take any of it literally. By creating man first, in the image of God, the man is placed in a position of superiority over the woman. The role of the woman to serve the man is a common theme throughout scripture (and the church). But if you take it literally then it makes one wonder if Adam was created with nipples and, better yet, functional testes. Why would he need the ability to create sperm if there was no female counterpart yet to produce fertile eggs? And the nipples especially would seem to have been purely decorative.

As for where all the animals are placed, a better question is why, after the great flood when all the animals in the world found their way to Noah’s ark, did they all find their way back to the part of the world that is their exclusive domain? Every single species of lemur traveled to Madagascar and none of them settled anywhere else along the way. All of the kangaroos went to Australia. Never mind why. How? That’s a tough trip to make for an intrepid marsupial. But of course the authors of the story had no idea how big the world is nor how many species of animal there were so they designed an ark that wouldn’t be large enough to hold them all in the first place. And it did t matter because the story wasn’t supposed to be taken literally anyway. It’s like how we have the story of the stork delivering newborn babies.

Not to turn this into another one of "those" threads, but I can remember as a very small child wondering if I was being gaslit by adults on this stuff, because it was so obviously ridiculous. Like, "Are they just pretending this is real? Like Santa Claus?". I just couldn't fathom grown adults buying any of this.

To each their own, and not the thread for it, but for people who at least partially believe the Bible, it's pretty damn near impossible to reconcile that God is simultaneously an omnipotent and benevolent being AND a petty, jealous, meddling, vindicative, insecure fucking asshole with no chill.

It's basically why I peaced out.

“Jesus turned water into wine. Praise the Lord!”

David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear. Is he an even more powerful god than Jesus?

”Uh… but Jesus forgave your sins. Hallelujah!”

Oh cool. So I have a free pass to do whatever immoral shit I want now without consequence?

”Well, no. But, um, Jesus conquered death. Can I get an ‘amen?’”

He did? That’s cool. So no one dies anymore?

”Uh, I mean, not exactly… we all still die. Like 100% of us. But have you heard the Good News?”

The news about the sleight of hand party trick? Not sure I’d call that “good” or even really that interesting. Do you mean the sin amnesty fake-out? Or the complete swing-and-a-miss on immortality? 

“You wouldn’t ask so many dumb questions if we put God back in schools.”

And then you grow up and find that they still believe it. That it wasn’t just a stora they were telling to the kids. They actually believe in the literal truth of the Adam and Eve story. So they refuse to believe in the scientific truth of evolutionary biology. And because of that they try to prevent evolution from being taught in schools, or they send their kids to private religious schools where it won’t be taught. And then try to divert tax dollars from the public schools to pay for their private religious schools.

You do realize that a large faction of Christians don't believe that whatsoever, right?  They see the Old Testament (Adam & Eve, Noah's Ark, all the bullshit in Leviticus) as allegorical at best.

I'm not saying you should laud them for believing the New Testament teachings, but at least don't paint with such a broad brush regarding the WHOLE thing.  Not all Christians are the same.

No but every member of my nutbag Baptist family would be perfectly fine with the story of Adam and Eve being taught in history classes.

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

So it’s my opinion the Adam & Eve story is akin to what Plato would refer to as “the noble lie.”  Pretty much every civilization that has ever existed has come up with some mythological bullshit origin story to give the common clay some collective sense of shared history.  Almost like it’s a necessary evil of sorts to have some explanation of existence even if completely untrue.  It’s also my opinion the Adam & Eve story is an exceptionally bad origin story.

Humans are on planet Earth by the end of the first chapter in Genesis. Adam is not mentioned in Gen 1.

The parable of Eden is the subject of Gen 2.

Adam is not necessarily a human, rather Adam is Man. He represents the evolved homo erectus, with our self awareness

Adam isn’t one person. He represents the species that is capable of self awareness and the ability to comprehend God (the universe; both seen and unseen.)

That awareness evolved inside a creature already possessing instincts for survival. The Fall of the parable is an attempt to separate those impulses, such as self preservation, aka original sin, from the morality that derives from the newly developed self awareness.

The quince (apple) from the tree of knowledge. Becoming self aware. Focusing on logical inconsistency is not the path to understanding the parable.

My sister isn’t QAnon but she is generic Trumptard.  Aggie of course.  She just reposted this on Facebook.  
 

three things:

I care about her so pointing out she’s regarded isn’t an option. I feel like they leverage that fact all the time.  It’s impolite to point out they are dumb so dumbness just keeps spreading. 
 

You see dumb shit on FB all the time, but how dumb can we get that she doesn’t realize the very fact that she’s seeing the post means it’s not banned. 
 

It isn’t enough to just post the Lord’s Prayer. You have to do it in a manner that says you’re sticking it to your perceived enemy. She is a fairly devout woman, but it honestly makes me wonder how much is a facade for some other purposes. 

I post something on FB.  I don’t want to dox myself so I won’t say it exactly, but it is very very mild political comment, which is definitely a first for me. Up to now I’ve been strict 0 politics on FB.  The comment though is about discouraging certain negativity from entering politics, and aimed at no side in particular, at least not explicitly.* it was so mild that I get the ol’ “like” from everyone across the political spectrum, 100% certain trump voters included.  
 

My sister has the temerity to tell me not to post politics.  Some of her previous posts:

 

 

 

 

 

Again, the situation is as my previous quoted post.  It would be very easy to post those images in response to her telling me to keep politics off Facebook. That would only fracture our relationship. The onus is ALWAYS on the other side to be the bigger man in a MAGA v reality dispute.  
 

It just makes me not respect her.  It’s sad.  I know she’s left self awareness behind.  I know she’s so fragile that my innocuous comment got her riled up. I question her intelligence. I know that’s there is 0.0% chance that she’d see her previous posts and think “oops, I was out of line and wrong.”

*I’ll admit that my initial comment was not 100% innocent.  The topic was aimed at bad behavior that the right does more of than the left. And their increasing reliance on that tactic spurred me to post it.

This is pretty similar to how my children were taught. Although, the Tree of Knowledge represented the knowledge of moral choices. Knowing right from wrong and making moral choices. Similarly, it was the evolution of awareness.

So, below is a direct quote from someone on Facebook.  They were responding to a friend of mine who posted something negative about Trump.  My friend that posted his comment hates Trump and this was a response from one of his friends.  You can’t reason with this kind of idiocy below.  By the way, when he talks about my friends business being horrible it may have been but he is one of the richest people I know (family wealth from his parents) so while his business had a bad year last year he is still voting for Kamala.  I love how his friend talks about Kamala coming to take his guns away.  I thought Obama was going to do that yet he was in office for 8 years and it didn’t happen.  Then Biden was going to take them away and nothing the last 4 years.  Now Kamala is going to take your guns.  These people are too stupid to realize they have been lied to over and over again by the Republican Party. 

 

Just hope your not blinded by the lies of the liberals. I thought you, of all people were much smarter than this. Never figured you for a Socialist. The only goal of the Dems is to beat Trump. Not help our country thrive.  They want to take our guns away from us. And we know you like hunting and shooting. And protecting your family from uncertain dangers.Along with all of the money they will tax You with. Tell me your fair business has thrived in the last 4 years. You can't because it hasn't! You even told Me that last year was horrible. I want what is best for our border and our freedom. Not Kamala saying she's gonna lower tax on tips. After TRUMP said it was part of his economic plan 3 months ago. The liberals could have done it 4 years ago. But haven't done shit. Not even a thought until now. Why?? Because they are lying to us. They SELECTED YOUR CHOICE. NOT ELECTED YOUR CHOICE!!! Another illegal move by the dems.
