Are you suggesting that all mainstream religions and their representatives are liars?

If so, I agree.

Yes.... or deluded....seriously deluded.

Because indulging in this world would be wrong after having the knowledge to understand how corruptly this world operates and the level of selfish cannibalization it takes to maintain a comfortable existence here.


I live comfortably without doing such. Why do you have to?

Peace be on you.
Please note Holy Quran does not mention serpent in events of Adam.

QUOTE:

[7:20] ‘And O Adam, dwell thou and thy wife in the garden and eat therefrom wherever you will, but approach not this tree lest you be among the wrongdoers.’
[7:21] But Satan whispered evil suggestions to them so that he might make known to them what was hidden from them of their shame, and said, ‘Your Lord has only forbidden you this tree, lest you should become angels or such beings as live for ever.’
[7:22] And he swore to them, saying, ‘Surely, I am a sincere counsellor unto you.’
[7:23] So he caused them to fall into disobedience by deceit. And when they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them and they began to stick the leaves of the garden together over themselves. And their Lord called them, saying, ‘Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you: verily, Satan is to you an open foe?’
[7:24] They said, ‘Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves; and if Thou forgive us not and have not mercy on us, we shall surely be of the lost.’
[7:25] He said, ‘Go forth, some of you being enemies of others. And for you there is an abode on the earth and a provision for a time.’
[7:26] He said, ‘Therein shall you live, and therein shall you die, and therefrom shall you be brought forth.’

Why did your version of God put Satan in the garden?

Do not all children cover themselves once they learn of good and evil and plain good manners?

Your serving as a participant.

The less participation - The more people begin questioning "Why does no one love me anymore?'

Only to find the little love did they have was fake because it was out of fear.

I do not think so. I think it is all about the money.

But you might be right.

Actually I've been wishing I've had some drugs over the past week. Haven't smoked pot since I was a teen.

No, I've been without sleep over the past forty-eight hours and normally only get four hours a night.

Your post read the same to me upon first glance as what Erimitus suggested in another thread: "Why does it matter if we're all predators all you have to do to be happy is to adapt."

Immediately it brought to mind forensics confiscated porn footage (still on the net) which contrasts Pedophiles from Monsters - That being the peds are brain dead, trapped inside zombies. Forgivable at the very end. The Monsters damn well know what they are doing when Human Trafficking and can only excuse themselves as 'Earning money to survive.'

To answer your question: Every time I find myself settling back down into the immersion and enjoying my non-hostile existence; "God" starts getting lonely and disrupts my peace in some random way - Past year has been a mortgage agent who (like almost everyone) only senses affirmation through power and fear from the helpless and poor.
