Ah, you mean, confuse us by all those thousands of other creation myths.
Why didn't your lord talk to everyone on Earth at the same time, or even the village shamen around the world if you insist on religion being hierarchical who would have then told the rest of the village the news.
Instead you get your alleged god telling the story to a half civil ...[text shortened]... nd so forth.
And modern ones like so-called scientology. Even YOU would admit THAT is a scam.
"Ah, you mean, confuse us by all those thousands of other creation myths."
If it involves
creation you say it's a myth, but if it is
evolution you believe it even to the extent that you have no idea how everything came into existence. You've been scammed into believing everything came from nothing.
"Why didn't your lord talk to everyone on Earth at the same time, or even the village shamen around the world if you insist on religion being hierarchical who would have then told the rest of the village the news."
God did tell everyone on earth at the same time. Adam and Eve were the only two around when God spoke to them. And you can be sure everyone heard about it. The problem is most just don't listen.
"Instead you get your alleged god telling the story to a half civilized tribe or a few tribes in the middle of a desert the story while totally ignoring the entire rest of the planet."
The "entire rest of the planet" wasn't listening, so God "chose" a people to guide, and they didn't listen either!
"Pretty much proof it was just a scam put over on those tribes to unite them and start a religion based on fear. It worked quite well, the biggest scam in the known universe."
No, it only proves that man is wholly degenerate and in need of a saviour.
"Well, among the OTHER scams, like Hinuism, Islam and so forth."
Well, you won't find a saviour in any of those scams to be sure.
"And modern ones like so-called scientology. Even YOU would admit THAT is a scam."
A perfect example of how man invents his own religion to satisfy his urge to be his own God.
You see, that's what happened in the beginning. That's the mindset that drives a man away from his creator. Thank God He provided a way back to Himself. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead to save us from the curse of the sin of rebellion against God.
Jesus Christ is the only singularly unique and mutually exclusive individual who ever lived by contrast to all others.
He is not a myth.
