The end result is just that we don't bother watching it.

It's about time we started playing god. I think we will be rather good at it.
As opposed to your man-made god.

Originally posted by RJHindsIf god knew that insulin could be made by bacteria with genetic engineering, why didn't it give us that give a thousand years ago? Same with Genmod plants.

So God has backed up for these thousands of years and pretty much let us be on our own and have had to suffer the affects of that as you just complained about. Either we submit to God and his loving ways and let him be the Father he is wanting to be to us or we don't. We can't have it both ways.....
Originally posted by galveston75well then, why don't the ones who clearly submit to your man made god get instantly snatched up by the metaphorical hand of your god?

Besides, exactly what was supposed to be so great about the so-called garden of eden?
You walk around all day long butt naked, not even noticing that fact, get no education, can't read or write, can't sing, make instruments, dance, play games like chess.
Sounds like hell to me not heaven. Like everyone on permanent valium, stoned out of your gourd and it doesn't wear off in the morning. Wake up in the same fog day after day, year after year in the fishbowl of the garden of eden as god's pets.
I'll take our own hell any day.
