New Fabrications
Unfortunately, dying meaning the death of innocence, though a better meaning, is a fabrication. All the translations are just variations of "you will surely die". None of the surrounding context suggests this was referring to innocence. By default, dying means death of the physical body and end of existence. It is incorrect to invent a less nonsensical meaning and then claim the bible isn't so nonsensical after all.

Also, in the story of adam and eve, satan is simply not mentioned, even though satan possessing an animal would be an unusual and noteworthy event. Unless you wish to assert that animal possessions are widely known events and do not need to be stated. I previously thought satan was possessing the serpent but that interpretation lacks any basis in the text, so it must be a fabrication. An invention to hide the nonsense of talking animals.

This is like saying the biblical flood is based on previous, flood superstitions. Probably true but no amount of explanation and correction alters that it, as written, is laughable. If a book cannot stand up on its own, it is not a reliable source.

With poor character and background descriptions, the story of adam and eve even sucks as a work of fiction.
Matthew Greet


Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
