plekhanov Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 You misunderstand, in my opinion, and that's just the way you interpret it, <snip generic theistic personal attack> Ok so I interpreted "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" as being a tree which had fruit which if eaten would give Adam and Eve "knowledge of good and evil" that seems a pretty straightforward interpretation to me. What exaclty is your interpretation of that verse & the story it's in? If your interpretation is correct then why does your sky pixie refer to the tree as "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" is he just a liar or what?

If your interpretation is correct then why does your sky pixie refer to the tree as "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" is he just a liar or what? I think the OT quite firmly establishes God as a liar and a very poor predictor of future events (gen 4:11-12 for example). He's not very good at hide and seek either (Gen 3:9). jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootsBooster Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Does Scientology count as a religion though, what defines it as a religion rather than a cult or just an "organisation" like the Free Masons ? Yes Scientology is a registered tax-exempt religion, possibly the reason WHY they changed it to a religion is the tax exemption. that is one sick religion Amongst many others. A few people seem to be of the opinion that Scientology is the most far-fetched religion but I have not seen any explain why they think this. If we were to break down the beliefs/components of the religion and compare it to the others I don't think we'd see that much of a difference.
