Then you should understand exactly why it is hard to consider such a god when trusting yourself solely to The Bible.

The whole thing is much too straightforward, with too much room for questions. I find it hard to conceive.

As for faith, I have my own ideas of what it is, and so, any theories of there being a god does not reflect what we know of Him altogether.

But on the other hand, I may think I know what faith is on a social scale, but it is possible I have never been under its light, so therefore may only believe what I see.

Adam and Eve did not exist. Christians know that it is just a story now. There were first humans, but not in the way of the story of Adam and Eve

Regardless of such, it seems many people, as proven on this very site, still take to the belief that they were real.

For, no one may prove that they were, but no one may prove that they were not, either.

And even if Jesus was a "fraud", it still doesn't change much for me. I dmire the man's message, which I at least know were truthfully there, not his actions.

Weather the messages we know he gave were of his own, or given to us by humanity through the ages, I can do naught but agree.

What I have heard and believed is that we become a higher level of existence that is beyond human comprehension. That just plain terrifies me.

Indeed, because I take it, you wish to remain what you are now.

Many things concerning heaven make no sense to me.

If a child dies and goes to Heaven, will he or she grow up there? If a heroine addict dies and goes to heaven, will he still have drug problems?
I cannot foresee there being anything other then what I am, and a higher state of existence does not interest me, although it is the only thing that would make any sense towards such a subject. For me, at least.

Besides, it would be too ironic if youu could do what you want. That would mean you could do evil things, which isn't fair and doesn't add up

So as we are sheep on Earth, we shall remain so in Heaven. Ah, no thanks, I think I shall take my chances with the Devil.
*Packs her pitchfork.*

Well, all kidding aside, believer or not, we are all slaves to something, I believe…

But you spoke of evil...regarding good and evil on earth and how we define such things, it could not exist in heaven, could it?

Regardless of one's definition of such alignments, they are human, which would render us such once in the afterlife...
