I beg your bardon, but I did. I pointed out the fact that there are more then one story in the history of the world that points to the fact that knowledge and technology had to be "stolen" from god and given to man. There is the account in the Bible and the Greek Prometheus/Pandora story I have...
Thats the view of Paul my friend, here is Pauls opinion of women...
1 Corinthians 14:33-35
"...As in all the congragations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission,as the Law says. If they want to inquire about...
Eating from the tree is a metaphor, think Prometheus bringing fire from Olympus to mankind. It seems a recuring theme in religon and mythology (some call it "folk memory") that intelligence/knowledge/technology had to taken away from someone and given to us. Staying with the Greek mythological...
Ignorance enslaves, knowledge liberates. Look at Europe during the Dark Ages, how did monarachs and the Church that supported their ABSOLUTE RULE keep people bonded to the land and under control? By keeping them uneducated. Its the same thing here, we are prisoners of the demiurge here on earth...
Thats interesting, lets look a little closer at this...

Actually Adam and Eve were not told to "be fruitfull and multiply" prior to the "Fall of Man" as described in Genesis. The verse after the creation of Eve reads (at least in the NIV) "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one...
Your analogy is way off Joe. Creationism is more like believing in the frog prince fairy tail, it requires you to believe on faith alone while evolution is based on observations and years of research.
Hmmm, sounds alot like Greek mythologies demi-gods if you ask me. It is interesting to note that Bible refers to these cross breeds between angel and man as "the heroes of old, men of renown."
Except for the fact that fruit is the reproductive organs of a plant. Also it is not uncommon to hear offspring refered to as fruit, i.e. "fruit of my loins".
If you go back and read my post, you would see I was talking about conclusions I drew based on my own observations, regardless of what they were "teaching" (I went to Catholic scool for several years). Even if all of the staues, crucifixes(?), and relics isn't meant to be idolatry dosn't mean...
