    1. It did not start out as a joke. .it was like "yo you see that horrible murderer not punished. . Someone's is gonna punish him. You don't fear jail or police. . How about eternal damnation?"

    It was REQUIRED to civilise the uncivilised barbarics. Now..dude we are a civilised bunch. . We don't need it.

    2. Thank you for the adam and eve arguement. I suppose you wouldn't mind if i use it in other questions?

    3. They would never. They think they are doing us a favour by spreading thier delusion about the non-existant hell.

    Question number 1: What if religion started out as a joke, and then suddenly someone took it way too seriously?

    This is a 'What if' question - and therefore doesn't have any fixed 'answer'.

    Question number 2: If Adam and Eve were white, and evolution dosn't exist, how does there then exist black people? And where do the asians come from?

    Who said Adam and Eve were white? Or, evolution doesn't exist? I presume you are referring to a literal reading of an English translation of Genesis, the first book in the Bible. Ancient Hebrews had what is known as an 'Oral Tradition', where religious ideas were passed down the generations by allegory - same as other ancient tribes.

    Question number 3: Will christians ever shut up with their questions to us atheists?

    Atheism is the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. Atheism exists because of theism - why shouldn't theists question the opposing views of those whose 'beliefs' (or rather lack of) exist because of their own?

    Question number 1: What if religion started out as a joke, and then suddenly someone took it way too seriously?

    EDITED THIS REPLY (Because I misread the question):

    It didn't. Religion just means "form of worship" so the first religion was just a way of worshipping God. The first religious act described in the Bible is in Genesis 4:3, 4, where Cain & Abel brought offerings to Jehovah. No joke there.

    Question number 2: If Adam and Eve were white, and evolution dosn't exist, how does there then exist black people? And where do the asians come from?

    We do not know the ethnicity of Adam and Eve but we do know they were created with the potential for great diversity within their DNA.

    Question number 3: Will christians ever shut up with their questions to us atheists?

    Not as longs as there are Atheists.

    Question number 1: What if religion started out as a joke, and then suddenly someone took it way too seriously?

    it was never a joke

    Question number 2: If Adam and Eve were white, and evolution doesn't exist, how does there then exist black people? And where do the asians come from?

    skin color is a genetic trait

    god preprogrammed in us

    all current living people descend from one female ancestor science has proved this

    Question number 3: Will christians ever shut up with their questions to us atheists?

    no just as atheist will never stop asking christians questions

    1: If Religion was simply a joke that someone over heard and took too seriously, than we are all idiots! However, I strongly believe it did not start as a joke.

    #2: It never says Adam and Eve were white in the bible. And God made everyone the way we are. God put everything on this earth the way He wanted to. He made different colored people jus as he made different colored flowers. If God wanted to make a black baby and give it to a asian couple then He can and will do so.

    #3: Sadly No, christian will not stop talking about other people and theyre beliefs. Christians need just as much help as anyone else on this earth, Noone is perfect and No two people will ever completely agree on everything.

    1. The belief in a Supreme being and Intelligent Creator did not start out as a joke.

    2. How do you know that Adam and Eve were white, have you seen a picture of them? Why couldn't they have black, have olive color skin, or Asian?

    3. Ah.... seems to me like atheists ask tons of questions here. I've never asked atheists a question. I know what they're going to say.

    Q#1. Jesus Christ died for our sins, and then someone created religion, and people do take their religion way too seriously. (Catholicism, Buddhism, etc...)

    Q #2. I don't know what color Adam and Eve were, but we do not descend from them, we descend from Noah's three sons, Ham, the father of Africans, Asians, Indians, etc, Shem, the father of Jews and Japheth, the father of the indo-europeans.

    Q #3. No. I will never stop spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ because I am not ashamed and because I care for the unsaved and I want them to hear the truth.

    1. Religion is a joke, but God is Truth, now what are you going to do with that?

    2.

    a.Who said they were White, were you there?

    b.they came from Noah's sons

    c.they came from Noah's sons

    3. We will shut up when you do.

    Since you do not believe in a Master Creator, then where did you come from? two rocks banging together, maybe green slime, maybe monkey's

    Well now I know why you ask such nonsensical questions

  • 9 years ago

    1. God moves in mysterious ways. I doubt it did. It's more likely to have been something like a sense of awe at natural phenomena such as a thunderstorm. This has been seen in other apes.

    2. Evolution is a fact. There's no point in entertaining such a notion as you suggest. Those who don't believe in it are either poorly informed, in denial or not interested in reading the Bible in a way which would help improve how they behave to others.

    3. I am interested in any challenging and thought-provoking opinion, including yours.
