I tend to agree with this statement (should a god exist)

But I would be putting a lot of belief into the attributes of god here.

100% CORRECT Rom !!!!!

You amaze me Rom. You see so much more than me.

There is only the “UNIVERSE” ... all things. I only used the words “I”, “God” and “universe” as words for a point of reference.

Folks in India call it Brahman.

I relate to a lot of Hindu teachings.
Those that call it polytheistic do not understand it.
They do not see the silliness of the hand calling the foot an infidel.

Brahman:
A child in the sea of ininity.

Sorry to burst your bubbles, but the Garden of Eden was a real place. Adam was a real man, Eve was a real woman. All of your mystical fantasies about what each represents are wrong. Period.

If you can lay aside the Genesis accout, then the rest of the Bible can be seen as mystical and figurative also, thereby excusing you from any responsibility for your actions. Well, guess what? God will still hold you accountable, whether you like it or not. Accept it.

I have.

Hopefully I will release my fears before death, but if not, I will see him after.
On that we agree.

Actually, Genesis is probably the best book in the Bible because it wasn't written by the usual authors. It appears around the same time in history as some other scriptures appear in India, the Rig Veda.

There is a theory that these writings are one and the same, just with different variations for the cultures they were addressing with it.

The Rig Veda is the basis of Hindu religion, and because yoga was born from Hinduism, and because I am a yogi, I give to you in that form.

We are more alike than you may realize.

You and your God of form, and me and my formless God.

I really sud double check my post.

This does not sound how I meant it. oh well ...

Well I am comfortable with my actions and will be quite happy to be held accountable.

It would seem that I have more faith in the reasonable nature of god (should such a thing exist) than you do Abel. Most agnostics can get to a place of enlightenment without some foolish (literal) interpretation of the Bible. I think god would be quite proud of us, getting up off the floor and trying walk and stumble for ourselves.

But you are welcome to stay in the comfort of your cradle.
