Your right, in the minds of many Americans " SHE "
is a figment of their imagination. In my mind " He"
is for real.

I tend to feel the same way - as so many cultures over the ages and all over the world have had so many varied Gods- it is quite easy for me to form this opinion. So much is based on "Visions", inspired writings and folk tales in general. Coming down through the ages from times that were full of suspicions.
IMHO

WOW - talk about "fanaticism" the 1,000,000s of people who believe the "Fantasy" in Genesis are truly blind to the B.S. that is threaded through it.
My point - carefully read about Adam, Eve & their family - when you are finished take this test - if Adam & Eve and their children were the first and only people on this earth - "WHO were the "Other People" their Daughter married? Common seance tells me there is an error here and if there is this one how many more are there in the Bible that is supposed to be blindly believed as truth.
Don't get me wrong I believe in a Loving Forgiving God - but not one of the Old Testament.

Where does fanatism start?


Simple, Fanatism starts when you leave God out.
Now wasn't that simple.You see God doesn't only
provide your needs, but also the answer to your questions.
All you have to do is ask.

If you Believe in a " Loving and forgiving God, but not the
one in the Old Testament, then you must believe in the
ONE in the New Testament. Which is both the same.
As far Cain's wife, the Bible goes from Genesis 4:16 into
Genesis 4:17 " The descendant of Cain. The Bible doesn't
mention any other woman other then Eve in the beginning,
but in 5:1 the Bible says that at the age of 130 years old
Adam and Eve had a son and the named him Seth. from
then on the Bible list the Descendants of Adam, not listing
any females. I'm sure with in those 130 plus years ( time
from Cane and Able's birth ) Adam and Eve had other children
( females) that werent listed, because what is shown in
the Old Testament was the blood line of Adam down through
the ages. Besides, no matter what I say will ever change your
mind,would it?

But, we've grown out of it, and live in a secular society now, christianity is dead here, a lost cause, no longer taught in schools, past it's sell by date and in the bin.

No - nothing could change my mind as this portion of the Bible as it is so much "Poo Poo" regarding "who beget who" it leads back only into the time of the starting of the "Written word" and verbal communication which could not have came but 100s if not 1,000s of years after "Adam & Eve - woops common scene verses fiction?
The Bible "Says" - is like quoting from the Di Vinci Code -which is modern modern biblical fiction.

Not unusual at all. If a 2 ton iron ball falls from the sky and lands in an empty parking lot, with 100 witnesses, there will be at least 75 accounts of the event, upon questioning. God us among the most personal of concepts, and it should surprise no one there are so many interpretations.
If the UK, for example, is not troubled by Islamic extremists, they have no need for alarm. If the US feels there is such a problem here, we are privileged to react in our chosen ways.
