incest in the bible? no way

They were brothers and the first children of adam and eve, so they would be paired up on a family tree.
And because Christianity is the most dominant religion in the world, and several peoples have been oppressed under Christian flags, and thus has the worst "rep."

I don't know if Cain and Abel were the first, I'm not doubting you, it's just been a while for me so I don't know if it says they were the first. Anyway, what I am getting to is that I am sure they aren't the only children of Adam and Eve in the Bible. Which is what the person who made the image must have thought, so of course it would seem stupid.
And I meant why is Christianity ridiculed on this site specifically. I'm not sure if forcing a 12y/o to go to church would count as oppression.

After Cain Killed abel, they had another son, named Seth, and several other kids, but yes, some incest had top happen

Adam and Eve would have have lots of children, which would have had to pair up and have kids of their own on order for us to be here now, going by the bible, so I get what OP is saying about incest. Cain and Abel are among the few mentioned by name because of the lesson we are supposed to learn from Cain's mistakes, but that doesn't mean they were the only children Adam and Eve had. From the diagram it looks like OP thinks that Cain and Abel are the only children Adam and Eve had, and that Cain and Abel somehow had children, even though they were brothers. Which only serves to show that you shouldn't try to ridicule something that you know fuck all about...

I am still wondering why it only seems to be Christianity that is made fun of on this site.

sorry about that, growing up in a christian house hold I was told that Adam and Eve only had 2 kids, I think the reason why Christianity is the most ridiculed religion on this site because its the most prominent religion world wide and in North America. I know a lot about Sikhism and Hinduism and other world wide religions but most people wouldn't understand the point being put in front of them because their ignorant of them.

Not to mention that historically Christians (not just people claiming to be, but popes and bishops) have oppressed and ordered the genocide of entire groups of people.

I suppose your point about Christianity being the most prominent religion in the western world is valid. So you were told that Adam and Eve only had two children, or were you only told about two of them?

as my parents would take my brothers and I to sunday school the priest told us they only had 2 kids. also told us we would go to hell for watching jimanji.

What Christian denomination are you?

well I prefer to my self as a secular humanist now but my parents are protestant. non of my siblings still believe in Christianity as it stands. the bible it self seemed to scripted and made up and simple answers to simple questions weren't met so I came to the conclusion that these people have no idea what they're talking about. Also after the pope announced that the vatican created the idea of hell to intimidate people into being better Christians, it got me thinking, if they can put that in the bible and manipulate millions into believing that what else in there is made up.

I consider myself as something between a spiritual and a theistic agnostic, but I was raised Seventh-day Adventist.

my older brother is a theist agnostic as well, he believes that something created us and that god could exist but not in the form of a religious deity. there are many theories to explain how we got here, creation, evolution, ancient aliens, an astroid broke off from mars and transported bacteria to earth. When I think of a god I think of an ant farm, where we are the ants and "god" is simply observing his science project.

well, if you took the time to read the comments you would of noticed how I explained growing up in a Christian household, my brothers and I were taught by the church Adam and Eve had two sons Cain and Able. Nowhere in the bible they gave us at the time did it say they had more children nor did they tell us they had more children. if one church says they had more children and one says they didn't than you can see how religion can be confusing and contradicting.

Abel* autocorrect.

i feel sorry to hear that bro. so called christian church failed to teach what really is in the bible. also no time to read comments; here for funny pics. im assuming you already now but for those who dont its on Genesis 5:4. peace

It's funny because that "so called" Christian church will still count for statistics you can point to to show how big Christianity is.

i agree with you. mostly because people tend to believe hear-say than proving things to themselves.

i dont see how this is relevant to Cain and Abel having an orgy

i love it when people just say stuff and dont look into why that happened like how the teaching is about wemon being "pastors" or teachers of the word of god or how those bears killed those children because they were being disrespectful to god...

ummm.....it never said there WERE any either.

It says god created man, and then create eden to place the man he had formed so he could keep with dominion. (Emphasis on 'MAN' not 'MEN').

true, but hey, cant be 100% accurate. Maybe the whole 'missing link' is fake, and humans are a cross bread between the one prior to missing link, and the 'humans' god created, creating us here today. You never know.

this man has the exact same theories I have on the subject.

No, because that makes no sense.

so does there being nothingness, then 2 pieces of nothingness colliding and created everything. The everything then started to split and eventually formed life.

Both sound ridiculous, but no living thing will ever know. For all we know, we are living in a game similar to the Sims.

What says that 2 pieces of nothingness collides and created everything?

You mean the big bang? Big bang explained the formation of the universe not the creation of it. There is no accredited theory for the creation of everything, we just don't know yet. Anyone claiming to know, without evidence (AKA most monotheistic religions) is delusional and pathetic.

as with most of todays 'atheists'. They believe they have the answer too. Still, what ever created the universe shall be known as God to me, no matter what it is. Plus the bible is a bit weird too. Why would God smite everyone who sins, and hate for humans to eat from the tree of knowledge? The devil is known to punish those who sin, and when portrayed, he will only trade someones soul for material wealth only to those who have, or will do something bad. What if God is the evil one, and the Devil is the good one?

When you say "most of todays 'atheists' i belive that you are referring to the ones that you've seen online. Those, however, are mostly 10-12yearolds who don't know shit about being an atheist and just use it as an exuse to bash god. So don't go and lable all (or, as many say "most of") atheist as ignorant fucks just because some of them are ignorant pricks.

Trust me, where I live 99% of people say they are atheists, and they don't even know the true reason of it all. Also, believe in God and you are right, HEAVEN! If not, then theres nothingness. If atheism is right, then its nothingness after death, if not, then its hell.

You did not seriously just use pascals wager is a serious way....yeah it would make sense if it was One religion vs. No religion. But it's actually thousands of religions (Each of which has hundreds or thousands of different sects saying the others are wrong) vs. No religion.

This is ridiculous to actually take seriously lol.

and true reason of it all?...granted you may not agree with them as atheists but there is no 'true reason', it's just disbelief with the evidence provided.

Sorry, for the main religions that are over here, its heaven and hell. Who knows, maybe heaven is just a state of mind, where before you die, your brain releases a chemical to allow you to see a wonderful place, one that will let you be happy forever. As you die, you just relive the last thing you saw, so it being heaven, heaven being what the person believes to be the afterlife.

Sigh, once your brain stops, your consciousness is gone. You die. That is it.

I get the wanting for something after but for people to delude themselves into religion or science pseudo-religions that use science to prove some things, then take giant leaps to assert an afterlife.

Do we know with absolute certainty? No, but just because we don't know doesn't mean we are to accept absurdity as true or even possible.

Some say your brain stops, and thats it, others believe in spirits. I believe in spirits/ghosts as the house I am in is in face haunted. You may say that I'm making it up, but hey, if you lived here, you'd agree.

Prove to me it's haunted. There shouldn't be a belief or faith factor when the evidence is obviously there to prove it to you. Unless you are predisposed to believing it's haunted which would mean you are going to accept much less evidence then I would for that conclusion.

and yes, when your brain stops that's it. Your 'spirit' is your consciousness, your brain processing information and experiences, reactions, etc etc etc.

For starters, everything that uses speakers in the house will have them all turn up at random times, and on specific songs. You may say faulty wiring BUT for it to happen on ipods and phones is not right. In the loungeroom we have my great uncles cabinet which has a mirror. My brother is a realestate agent and was testing a new program that they got to basically have a virtual tour through a home, and in the picture of the cabinet, it had the shadow of my great uncles head in the mirror. You may say it was my brothers, but it had no camera in front of the face, and no one else was in the room. When my niece was little, she would randomly look at someone at the door. One night when this was happening, she yelled 'Go Away' and a few doors in the house slammed. I saw a strange figure moving around outside, and noticed it stopped at a spot on the fence. I told my mum and we noticed that one of her Angels were missing from the fence. On my grandmothers birthday, my mum burned a candle for her (as she always does) and a pile of wax dripped onto the silk it was sitting on. That night, my mum removed the pile of wax, and in the middle of it, there was a small love heart now stained into the silk. The night when my grandmother died, my brother said he saw her in his room the night she died, and I remember him talking to someone in the room but ignored it, the conversation ended with him saying goodbye to her, not as if she left the room, but that was his goodbye to her from life.

I would post more but being it is 3AM and the fact that writing it all up does give me an eerie feeling makes me just want to go to bed.

they are demons

I doubt that some of my families loved ones would become demons. Now if I was talking about the bowling alley, then sure, theres a demon there. Long story short, my eldest brother was closing it up for the night. The power went out, and some dark thing was running through the back hallway. The only other person there was outside trying to fix the power.

this is where I slightly disagree with you. while you have the basic idea down, you have to think about this.

christian is wrong: you spent every sunday doing something that counts for nothing in the one shot at life you were given. you took persecution thinking you would be rewarded, but got absolutely nothing.

atheist is right: you spent your sundays getting extra rest and hanging out with friends or doing other important things. you never had to worry about "sinning" and got to have sex before your married.

The thought of not sinning is basically the same as not breaking the law. You see that there are rules, and you want to follow them, unless you want to end up in hell/jail. By going to church every Sunday, you are giving yourself, and others faith. Without it, a lot of people wouldn't really be here today, just like my aunt and her 2 children. When she was younger, she was in a horrible car crash (she was a passenger) and was told that there is a high chance she will die. Luckily enough, she pulled through. Now you may say this is cause of the doctors, which is true, but her spine had several fractures in it, and she was told she would never be able to control the lower half of her body again. That night, everyone said a prayer for her, and the next day, she had some feeling back.

Maybe God didn't heal her, but if she didn't believe that she would get better, then she may not have. The world needs religion to keep both order, and humanity with us.

We atheists don't "belive" that there's anything after death because we don't know anything about it yet, we lack the evidence of it. Being an atheist is alot like being a judge (not really), you sit at the sideline until you've gotten enough evidence to make a conclusion. Until that evidence has been provided we can't say anything about it.

Wouldn't that make you the Jury? For the large cases the Jury decides, but everyone has to agree on it to make it so. Actually, that is a good point, unless everyone says there is or isn't an afterlife, we will never have an actual thing to have.

on this i just want to say hell isnt real its called Gehenna and it is a kinda nothingness look up Ecclesiastes 9: 1-18 it says the dead are conscious of nothing at all.

And before it's mentioned, the bible uses the word 'man' in the sense of singular. (The man he had created....and later talks about how the man should not be without a partner. So no he doesn't use it in the sense of "man" as in a whole race.)

doesn't matter how many they have, they're all related.

true. i dont think it really matters if you read the bible there are a lot of things we cant explain but !!!!almighty!!!! god means that god can do anything. also so i dont get red thumbed this is an opinion

Isn't that kind of a cop-out though? "Oh, that doesn't make sense? Oh well, god can do anything."

kinda but its not like we know everything. i mean there isnt a way to know so we kinda have to believe he could so it

the bible has many historical correctness and how do you know there were other people on earth?

yet they change and reword what is right there in the bible to make themselves look less stupid.

After a while, after Abel died, they had Seth. But if Adam and Eve had Cain and Abel, and Abel was killed by Cain, where did Cain's wife come from?

theres a line that says something along the lines of "Adam and Eve had many children" sorry i cant be more specific but ive currently between bibles

In chapter 5, maybe. But that was after Cain found his wife.

ill be honest, i probably dont know enough about this subject to argue this. maybe he married a cat

I know I would. Cats are pretty fucking awesome.

and they make your dick look huge

Exactly!

me likey

XD cats FTW

kitty plays, kitty needs sleep

bad atheist. bad

So then where'd the other people come from?

Sorry I misread that at first. The other people were also created by God.

Where in the bible does it say that?

IDK where it says it, but basically when they walk out of the garden o' eden they find a village of people

I don't recall reading that. What book in the bible does it say that?

I never read the bible, but a quick google reveals that I'm probably wrong.

Haha. I was going to say. I read the bible and it never says anything about a village of people outside of Eden.

To be honest, I am not sure. Being a quizical child, I always asked that question about how did humanity move on with only one family? My parents always rold me that there was a town in another region filled with other people. I can do some reaserch if you really want to know.

Your parents probably told you that because they didn't want to freak you out, but according to the bible, Adam and Eve had 3 sons. Cain, Abel, and Seth. However, the bible rarely talks about daughters that people had. Because they consider the man to be the one who carried on the family line back then. Most likely, Adam and Eve did have more then just 3 children, they probably had a few daughters as well. And yes. There was incest. But what other choice did they have? Also, i doubt that it was that big of a deal when there are less then a dozen people on Earth. Yes, I am Christian. This is my actual thinking here. Hope it helped clear things up.

Now that you say that, I think that makes much more sence. I appreciate you taking the time to tell me that.

Nah don't trouble yourself. I don't think the others were created by god, because I don't think god is real. I was just wondering if you could back up your statement. Although, I can't disprove your statement either. :)

Thank you for being tolerant. And if you havn't read thhotherdudec's comment yet, read it. It makes much more scence than mine.

They appeared or some shit I dunno.

And here we have the summary of christian logic.

brute forcing, doxing, and password cracking...
it has more then 1 use.
