I haven't seen the whole thread, but could someone tell me were Abel got his woman from?
Also, this little piece of irony is worth mentioning: In the (translated to Dutch) version I've got here it says 'And he saw it was good' (in Dutch, of course) in the Genesis creation, except after He creates mankind...

Abel? He didn't have a woman. The only woman on the planet during his lifetime was his mother.

Or even Cain. Both were presumably married to their own sisters. Along w/ the rest of their brothers (at least, any who were married).

Yes... there's a point. Does the Bible say anything against incest? I ask only because Lot's daughters screwed their father with no complaints from God.

Hmm, that's a very good question. I don't think any of the branches of the Christian faith allow marriages between family members unless three or four times removed. Not like I would know, I'm not religious.

Yes, quite. Incestuous relations are certainly prohibited now; the question is, are they explicitly prohibited in the book? If so, we await Omega's response...

Yes. But those are part of the Mosaic Law. Adam and Eve's kids, Lot's daughters, &c. were all before Yahweh came up w/ those rules.

During World War II, in the Warsaw Ghetto (if I'm not mistaken), a group of Orthodox Jews placed God on trial for allowing Hitler and the Holocaust to happen. The verdict was that an omnipotent entity who did not intervene was guilty.
They sentenced God to death.

I'm sorry, but I think that is total bullshit. I do beleive in god, but I beleive in him leaving us make our mistakes, think of it as a "loose" omnipotence, he can do anything, but he doesn't most of the time.

Well, the point the Jews made was that a truly loving God wouldn't stand to see His people punished like that. They didn't understand it -- my friend Keith, who, absolutely conincidental to this conversation happens to be Jewish -- said that his grandfather thought they were being punished for some reason; but that he himself believes it was God's way of getting 'em all to Israel.

So it's okay if he justs eats some popcorn and watches the attempted genocide of 11 million people?
Er ... for some reason, that don't quite fly with me.

Cool. But we should add spina bifida, cystic fibrosis, birth defects, and crib death to the charges, since they're things that no amount of human will can change.
