do you believe

[wilk1149]

I don't.
Do I insist that you don't. No but you insist that I do.
You knock on my door. You force your literature upon me.
You have the problem not I. You are the unreasonable one not I

are you sure they just didn't bolt after being asked such an odd question?

The first thing they all did was look at each other and it was obvious that they didn't have a clue.

One actually tried to say there where other people in Russia,(until I asked him how they got there),

One came back about a week later and apoligized as he asked his priest/minister who didn't know either.

Considering we now have over 2000 different religions it seems weird that some of them are based on the

words of one person,(is that how they all started?)

It seems to be that all the "newer" ones where created by the words/actions of one person,(who claims to be the

the person that their particular god/entity spoke to),

Most modern religions pilfered their ideas from older ones.They then concentrated all those powers into one god.Nowadays it's called multitasking.

In the days of Adam and Eve man supposedly lived for hundreds of years.  Man was, at first, only two people, Adam and Eve. The couple's first three children were Cain, Abel and Seth: "After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters." (Genesis 5:4) Having had some 33 sons and 21 daughters.

Therefore Cain married either a sister or a neice.  It wasn't untill after the flood that God commanded, "that near-relative marriages should not occur (Leviticus 18:6).

The debate over who became the wife of man’s first two children has gone on for centuries. The short answer is that the brothers had to marry their sisters.
