But this will get little attention because we are distracted by issues like Syria and their chemical attacks on fellow countrymen. But we have companies poisoning our land and water, causing earthquakes and it is alright. Because we need the energy.

I know we have been fighting it off. That would qualify as pure insanity just like running a sand oil pipeline through agricultural and underground water supplies when it is totally unnecessary in order to save a few dollars.

What is interesting is that in every depiction of Adam and Eve they both have navels.

I always found the fact that we are to consider eating the fruit from "The Tree of Knowledge" to be a BAD thing?

Well, I guess having knowledge of good and evil IS bad..............

When certain people want to restrict your knowledge to what THEY want you to believe.

What that means is that we decide what is good and evil, not God. It really has nothing to do with facts or information. Agreed though there's plenty of charlatans out there.

I have to change the lyrics of 'Peace in the Valley' from 'the beasts of the wild shall be led by a child' to 'the raptors of the wild....'

Well if you have read Catch-22 by Joseph Heller the main character wonders why God specificially pointed out to Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit. God could have not said anything. He basically says "Hey you two do anything you want just don't eat anything off that one tree right there...you see it? Do not eat that fruit!!!"

of course she wants to eat it after that ...
