7 Glaring Issues in The Adam and Eve Story | Deconstructing Genesis 2-3


From anachronisms to bad science, the story of Adam & Eve is one shrouded in mystery and questions. I narrowed my observations down to just 7 glaring issues with the account from Genesis 2-3.

WHY FORGIVENESS IS THE F-WORD:
-Hijacked by religion
-Weaponized by abusers to enforce compliance
-Victim blaming "Why can't you just forgive?"
Instead, ACCEPT REALITY by asking:
What happened? Who did it? Is it a pattern?
Then use that knowledge to make appropriate choices - including whether to give the guilty party continued access to your life.

is like chewing gum: Sticky, messy, & hard to remove. It is pervasive, impacting:
-thoughts
-speech
-appearance
-behaviour
-finances
-career
-relationships
-time
-energy
-mental health, and more.
Every religion has the potential to cause .

Tfw your mom posts this and you realize you're the crackhead? I guess? Lol. It's a low key i guess.

Well at least maybe she's letting go and not blaming herself. That's the bright side.

It is disturbing that teens are being encouraged (coerced) to embrace spiritually flavoured & look to an outside source to solve their problems. Over 11,000 students seeking Jesus' love attend worship event | Church & Ministries News christianpost.com/news/over-11

Plagued by unrelenting shame for “normal” activities like masturbation, sex, or enjoying time doing nothing? SHAME IS OFTEN FUNDAMENTALIST RESIDUE. Wipe that sh!t off your shoe and give FREEDOM a try. Start small & work your way up to Big Ticket items. Life is a grand buffet - don’t starve to death because of religion.

Praying often absolves the pray-ee of feeling like they must actually DO something to help alleviate suffering.

@slashdottir I think trying to take parts from other religions and make them fit together, with a dash of your own ideas, is a good net step in realizing what your beliefs are.

I tried all the "what religion should you follow" quizzes and got different answers from each one. I eventually just decided that I'm Agnostic.

Christians are so certain about judgment and eternity despite lack of evidence. They posture themselves as magical soothsayers because it grants them a semblance of control where none exists. Fear of reality prevents them from listening to or accepting logical reasoning.
