: I don't mean to patronize you, my lost brother, but my beleifs require that I do this. ALL of the pain, suffering, atomic bombs, disease, war etc. that beset us in this fallen world are here as a result of humanities fall from grace in the Garden of Eden. Indeed, the human condition (the fact we will all die), is a result of our sinful nature-"the penalty of sin is death". Adam was Created in the image of God, he was (or would have been), immortal. As a result of Adam's sin, God cursed the earth and all of humanity. Additionally, He gave Satan reign over this earthly kingdom, which will culminate in the Battle of Armmaggedon as described in the Book of Revelation. This all makes perfect sense if you will look at Satan as the god of discord. God's law is perfect, the physical manifestation of Satan in this world is embodied in the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that entropy will increase over time in a closed system. In my mind, the second law didn't exist prior to Adam's fall from Grace. This is evident in the fact that we are de-evolving as a species; the human genome is a closed system, without any new information being added, mutational errors will increase over time. If you don't beleive this, do your own research, and try to find a mutation that does not result in a loss of information.

***I must, in the name of humanity reject revalations as a future fact, it is a sickening and frightening tool in an attempt by this religion to manipulate the world of men, and if it is successful, much suffering shall come as a result. I see this book as one of the most seroius threats to mankind, it is grotesquely insane, and any god to ensure its accomplishment is evil itself! Where is this god? This is one of the many important questions I sought from god during a long and unfriutful search. If I could stand in front of a god such as this, I would denounce his power, showing that he/it is not all powerful or good or just. But of course now I do not believe in god, so I must denounce those who wrote this inhumane and disgusting attempt at manipulation. The worst words I can think of cannot begin to touch its treason agianst us. I do not mean to ridicule you as a person because you believe in this, and this is not an apology either, it is a statement from one who has really searched for the answers, and found deception.
