Some more questions.
1. If we are all descended from Adam and Eve - and they only had two sons - how the heck did the human species reproduce. Genesis talks about Cain and Able taking wives and having kids. I'm a bit confused. Where the heck did they find these women?
And, and....when Cain kills his brother and god banishes him, Cain fears for his life. He has a mark on his forhead and he fears that "everyone who sees me will try to kill me." Who the heck are these people that he's so afraid of. The only other people on the planet are Adam and Eve.
It's very important that any Christians on this site think about this question. Christianity is based on the belief that ALL HUMANITY is descended from Adam and Eve. If not, the whole original sin thingy doesn't work. Please help me here. Who the heck were these other people? |

If so, then riddle me this: why are cancer patients and others occasionally "cured by prayer" but no amputee has ever been cured by prayer? |
There aren't cured by prayer, there is no evidence for that whatsoever. Sometimes there are medically unexplainable remissions of cancer, and if that were to happen at the same time that someone was "praying" for the patient, it would be easy to fall into the trap of believing it was prayer that did the trick, especially if you were one of those nutty types that really wants and needs to "believe". Prayer is a bogus hoax, just like the rest of christianity |

| The thing is cancer goes into remission, or fails to do so, at the exact same rate for Christians and non-Christians alike. Buddhists, agnostics, Jews, Hindus, atheists and Wiccan also recover from serious illnesses - all without the benefit of Xian prayer. Yet Christians, in their supreme blindness, think that when a Xian recovers its because of prayer. The reality is that good things and bad things happen to all groups of people at exactly the same rate. The efficacy of prayer is also exactly the same for all groups of people. Zero. |

Monkeys!! Cain married a marmoset and Able married a gorilla. This upset the golden tamarins who had it in for everyone. When the goriilaz found out Able was dead they went after Cain, but having invented baseball and thus the baseball cap they could never find him, just some weird guy in a hat going to third base with a marmoset. |

Here you can see the absurdities and contradictions in the bible book by book. Click on a book (ie. Genesis) and choose a category from the coloured options to the side (Cruelty, Family Values, Contradictions, etc.) Enjoy.
