How is one to believe a story, which starts with an impossibility? From the beginning, “God’s” creation story is flawed. In Genesis 1:28, “God” tells Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply. They do. But how, without committing incest, would they have become grandparents, great grandparents, etc.? A two couple minimum was mandatory in the Garden of Eden. Any reproduction between Eve and Cain would’ve been inbreeding.
If the first chapter, first book of the bible is impossible to believe, it’s easy to conclude, there’s no “heaven” nor “hell,” no “god” nor “jesus.” These concepts are entrenched in theories of life and death, presented through hollow biblical stories, providing reason for deceitful comfort or forceful submission. The fictitious stories of the horrors of “hell” or the grandiose fictitious rewards of “heaven” from the dictatorship of a “god” or a “jesus” amount to meddling in our lives - coercion. We wouldn’t buy a house without careful review. Yet many are banking on an unseen heaven to spend eternity. Heaven is a concept many of faith enjoy. Remember though, sometimes a wonderful concept turns into a living hell.
Believing and abiding by ridiculous, religious rhetoric to secure a “heavenly” space – really?
