i don't get religion. there's some JW ladies who come by once a week to talk to me about the bible. i usually listen because its pointed out more flaws to me than i could have ever found on my own. maybe it's because i'm crabby or whatever but i couldn't contain my obvious irritation.
#1 i hate being asked stupid questions for brain washing purposes. "god said don't eat from the tree or you will die. so what did go say would happen if we ate from that tree?" and if i don't answer with the obvious "we will die" the passage gets reread till i provide the "correct" answer.
#2. it's easy as fuck to twist any religious book to your liking when you can pick and choose sentences to fit together at your whim. doesn't matter if one has fuck all to do with the other, they piece that shit together like a mosaic to form whatever support for the argument they like. citing your pieced together bullshit doesn't automatically make it true.
#3. don't shove obvious logic failures in my face and then get upset when i point them out. if we didn't know right from wrong and lived a blessed life in eden before we talked to a outcast angel cosplaying as a snake "for god knows that in the very day of your eating from it, your eyes are bound to be opened and you are bound to be like god, knowing good and bad." genesis 3:5 and then tell me "god gave us free will. he doesn't want us to be mindless robots." ummm no. how is it free will if you are led down one path and all other paths are hidden from you? but satan makes us aware that there are good things and bad things and that there is more than just what god says and now HE'S the bad guy? so, free will as long as you behave only in the way i tell you to? right. we got tossed out of eden for using the free will that god gave us and became not mindless drones... which god apparently doesn't want anyways... so satan is evil because if it weren't for satan we wouldn't have the choice to use all this free will we have to love god, we'd love god because we have no choice.. which god hates. >_< yeah... i need to figure out a polite way to tell the ladies that i'm done with this experiment.
