No, it really isn't. The problem isn't with the scriptures, it's with Christian interpretation of the scriptures. Anyone with any sort of knowledge of the Bible and the history of the people of the region knows that the god of the Bible was (a) part of a pantheon, (b) that was inherited from other cultures, and (c) evolved as time went on. That's not really up for debate with any serious students of history and religion. The old testament biblical "God" at the time that Genesis was written was NOT perfect, and nobody believed him to be that way. That came later. The Adam and Eve story just looked to tell a creation myth, and Genesis itself was cobbled together from multiple storytellers. It didn't say a single thing about damnation, which wouldn't even become a thing until Judea's hellenistic period. So, nah. You seriously are out of your element here with all the blinders you've put up for yourself. |
