What if god said that everyone is equal despite kings, colour, and gender, would that have been liked by the churches?

From God's perspective, I imagine all humans are the same. I mean, the difference between kings and beggars are earthly differences. Ditto for race, gender, religion, social class, etc. Why would God be impressed with you because of your wealth or status? No, in the Good Book it's clear that God favours the poor, the humble and the meek. Which is good news for me ... :wink:

I'm not sure if I'm an NT or have Asperger's, but I do believe in God. Specifically, christian although open-minded.

Eve was not Adam's clone. Obviously, they were different. One was male and the other was female. Eve was taken from Adam by God to be his companion and helper.

You're getting silly-stupid now and missing the whole point of the story. It's not about clones or incest. That's all beside the point.

What is the point?

The point is how human beings first arose on this planet and how they fel into sin.

That is the point of the story.

I don't believe in any God. I don't think the question is even relevant. I am agnostic and trust what I can see with my eyes and comprehend with my mind and nothing else.

Bobert, the celestial blue rooster, and the great Squiddgy could kick Saltandor's ass any day of the week.

That's two years old now, so I don't expect anyone to get that.

Eggman, we need more theistic evolutionist. Thanks for being part of the cause.

I believe in a God who's not afraid to shake us out of our complacency and challenge us. I believe in a God who is the source of all good things but who is does not hesitate to teach us hard lessons. I believe in a God who has the ability to show us who's God.

That result of the poll is alot different than i expected.
If you asked it here in the Netherlands to the native population, than 9/10 under 40 would proberbly say they didn't.
Ofcourse when it comes to the population of people over 60 the result would be hugely different.
Than there are also a couple of religious towns/citys in the Netherlands.
Go to any given church here and you wil find the vast majority to have grey hair.
Seeing as the majority here are American proberbly explains why there is such a high percentage voting they believe in god.

Myself i don't really believe in god.
My grandparents on both sides were roman catholics, as is most common for theyr generation here in the south of the Netherlands.
Parents were baptized as Roman catholics but converted to jehova's witnesses for a few years as i was a young kid.
After that we've not had any affiliation with anything relating to religion.
