Re: \'God is Love,\' Pope Benedict says in first encyclical



Which god? the god of genesis that cursed the yet to be born children of
it's creation because it's creatin failed a test they couldn't study
for.
The gods creation that fails only points out the ineptitude of the
creator. The creator that creates something that fails and then curses
ratherthan fixing it is not the sign of a loving creator.
The story is a test for reason . Sorry J. Young you appear to have
failed just like Adam And Eve failed the test they were given.
Don't plead that you didn't know you were taking a test and use the
excuse that you were not able to prepare.
Doesn't say the god told Adam and Eve they were being tested.
Why should you be treated any different than the proposed god treated
Adam and Eve and their progeny. Apparently the god didn't give them the
ability to put up such an arguement.
The abilities that they had were due the gods having given them . If
they failed it is due to a lack of endowment from the god.
If you had failed the test for reason when it was first instituted you
would either have been killed or relegate to servitude. Slaves were a
hot commodity when the foundation on which most modern religions were
formed was formulated.
