@OP
This is a really outdated parody tbh. I haven't posted about my atheism on here for years, as Minichan debates on religion have long since been supplanted by political debates.

I sometimes wanted to argue with you about religion, but it would've felt hollow and pointless because you were just putting on a persona. Also, it was much funnier to watch certain posters being baited anyway.

Shtick aside though, I'm more than happy to 'debate' it. My subject at university was PPE (philosophy, politics and economics).

That was also a grand period of our history. I was, truly, at the height of my power when I was trawling Google Scholar for research papers to disprove Kook's anti-trans statements.

That has to be true right? Because there's just no other possible way mankind could have continued.

When Jesus 'turned water into wine',what He a totally did he had to have sent a couple of the diciples to the grocery store and had them bring bag some boxes of white Zinfadel and replaced the water in the pitchers with the wine and then served it. There's no other possible explanation.

I wouldn't say 'religious'. I have a spirituality but it's not tied to any religion. I tend to think any kind of 'higher' consciousness is revealed by great artists (Beethoven, Bach, Schubert, Michelangelo, Raphael etc), not 'holy' books. My position on the existence of a 'God' is agnostic.

Anecdotal evidence isn't proof. Someone can as easily refute it by saying "Jesus told me you're lying".

> Also Adam and Eve had to do incest.

They didn't. But regardless, the Adam and Eve story is likely nonsense so let's not worry about it too much.

First two humans doesn't mean "only" 2 humans. The Bible leaves out things its writers didn't feel were relevant. We have no idea how Jesus celebrated his 18th for example, because it's likely he just went for some takeout falafel and a few shots of Arak with his mates.

Perhaps the Bible didnt include every detail about every single thing. Hmmmmm?

Could be that your assertion about there having to be incest is based on conjecture.

So if we say certain parts of the Bible are merely symbolic, or allegorical, or otherwise not literally true... how do we tell the parts that are actually true?

There's no way to tell which parts, if any, are true other than ongoing historical and archeological analysis. Some of the historical events described in the Bible are effectively facts, but of course most of the 'religious' stuff (the miracles and so on) is likely bollocks. It's pretty much a fact that there was a guy called Jesus who was a kind of rabbi in 1st century Judea. That he raised Lazarus from the dead and walked on water is almost certainly horseshit, in my opinion.

I asked you how the human race propagated from two people without incest. You haven't answered. Is your answer that there weren't only two people, that is that Adam and Eve were a lie?
