Something About Religion

 

According to what I remember reading in the Bible, God made heaven and earth in six days and on the seventh day, he rested, hence SUNDAYS.

Why did it take GOD, the ALMIGHTY, seven days to create the universe?

Were each of those days, 24 hours in length?

Did God work at his creation for the entire 24 hours or did he work just a few hours a day?

If he worked straight through, then God worked 144 hours without stopping.

My first question is that if God is God, why did it take him so long?

The stories in the Bible remind me of the stories that I read about Greek, Roman, and Norse Mythology, except those mythologies revolve around many gods and the Bible only talks about one...  still the stories are similar.

Special people with special powers coming down from the heavens, trying to influence and control how we live our lives.

Jesus dying on the cross for instance was SYMBOLIC in that through his death, all our sins were overlooked.

One Death for BILLIONS perhaps TRILLIONS of sins given all the people ever born...  that is EXCEPT all those people born before JESUS.  Those people are SOL.

We are taught by our religious leaders that we are born into SIN and yet, we had no say so in our own birth.  If we had a choice in our own birth would we have chosen NOT TO BE BORN?  So that we would not be born into sin and therefore have no need for religion or the Bible.

Were we born to justify what was going to be written in the Bible...  something like a self-fulfilling prophecy?

We cannot control our own birth and yet we are expected to be able to control our own SINS...

We can also commit sins all our lives and right before our death, ask for forgiveness, and say we believe in Jesus, and we are forgiven...

Lots of death row inmates find religion right before their execution...
