		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;1) Do you really believe in Adam and Eve, the talking snake, and the woman from man&#039;s rib stuff?&lt;/blockquote&gt;Yep.&lt;blockquote&gt; 2)Do you really believe an all-knowing God put the tree of knowledge in the G/E, then got so pissed off that Eve ate the apple that god put in front of her (knowing she would eat it, since God is omnicient)that he doomed all humanity with original sin, creating Hell for his beloved children?&lt;/blockquote&gt;No?because you?ve skewed the question (just like liberals who do ?push-polling? to get the answer they?re looking for).  The choice to eat the fruit was Eve?s to make.  I don?t believe God chose to know ahead of time that she would.  Likewise, going to hell, is &lt;i&gt;our&lt;/i&gt; choice, not God?s.&lt;blockquote&gt; 3)Do you really believe that all-knowing and all-loving God then murdered the entire planet in the flood except Noah and his family (including the daughters who raped him), who had 1.5 billion animals on this hand-made boat for 40 days?&lt;/blockquote&gt;Yes, (but this is another skewed question) I believe there was a catastrophic flood and that Noah built an ark for all his animals, but no, I don?t believe the flood was global.&lt;blockquote&gt;4) One last question -- Is there anything in the Bible you DON&#039;T believe?&lt;/blockquote&gt;Nope.</description>

<p>Yep.<br />

<p>No?because you?ve skewed the question (just like liberals who do ?push-polling? to get the answer they?re looking for).  The choice to eat the fruit was Eve?s to make.  I don?t believe God chose to know ahead of time that she would.  Likewise, going to hell, is <i>our</i> choice, not God?s.<br />
<blockquote> 3)Do you really believe that all-knowing and all-loving God then murdered the entire planet in the flood except Noah and his family (including the daughters who raped him), who had 1.5 billion animals on this hand-made boat for 40 days?</p></blockquote>
<p>Yes, (but this is another skewed question) I believe there was a catastrophic flood and that Noah built an ark for all his animals, but no, I don?t believe the flood was global.<br />
<blockquote>4) One last question &#8212; Is there anything in the Bible you DON&#8217;T believe?</p></blockquote>
<p>Nope.</p>

really?&lt;/blockquote&gt;No.  That was the law given specifically to the Israelites for a specific time.  Historical context is essential.&lt;br /&gt;
