| appolose said: Khuutra asked me to explain why I thought the context of Genesis showed that it was not metaphorical, so I did. I don't want to getinto a debate about it, though. "The bolded phrase makes no sense to me. I can't recall any phase except for some first world countries in the last 60 years, where this wasn't the case for humankind. It's not that life sucks, it's more that reality in nature is cruel". The Creatoin account implies this was not the case during the beginning. If it were, then it wouldn't be "very good". As for the fall, I don't blame God for it because of a free-will thing that happened.

It's perfectly allright, that you're not interested in getting into another debate, when you just came from one which lasted one month.
I think this is interesting non the less, because as a moderate christian, it's really hard to understand the extreme views and where the points you make come from. Simply because in my country, this views are nearly nowhere to be found.
So if you change your mind, it would be great to have a debate with you.
