Wife: Don’t put it there!
God: Why not?
Wife: You said that you didn’t want them to eat from it.
God: I told them not to.
Wife: But you know they’ll do it anyway.
God: Yes
Wife: Go put it on the other side of the planet.
God: Yes dear
Wife: What are you making?
God: A talking snake.
Wife: What?! Why on earth would you be making that?
God: I thought it would be cool.
Wife: Absolutely not! You are not making a talking snake!
God: Yes dear

By Jove, sounds like a scene from a pagan myth.
Much of the Bible is tied to earlier pagan myths yes? :)
Thanks for the comment.

....and as such, much of the Qur'an and the Torah as well, yes? :)
Yep!
If one believes the Virgin Birth myth, either God was married or was engaged in a 3 way.
And as far as pagan myths, I find it a strange coincidence that many of the places mentioned in the early Bible were also sites of the Iraq war, so both came from the same place.
Around the same place but times have changed. In a world of mass technology and communication, people claiming to have spoken with god just don't get the respect they once did. Go figure!
Thanks for the comment Jack,

Iam sorry James But I did not like your poem. The bible is real and its completely the truth. Do you know how i know that because no has EVER proved it wrong. God loves you very much and he has huge plans for you. I hope you find salvation.
Many blessings, Theresa
Theresa, if no one has ever proved it wrong, is there a flying teapot circling the sun? No one has ever proven it right either. I'm not debating whether or not there is a god, merely your flawed logic. There are seven specific fallacies in human thought, and your argument utilizes at least 3 of them (shoulds, causation, and over-generalization).
Ah, the Bertrand Russell teapot which has now evolved into the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Cheers!

Theresa, your statement about the Bible not being proved wrong is like stating that Jack and the Beanstalk has not been proved wrong. Actually through science and common sense, the Bible has been proved wrong. Day and night are the result of distance and motion. They are not separate entities that needed to be created independently. Birds came after the things that creep, not before. The Bible can't even get through one page before getting disproved by science.
Cheers!
