Adam and Eve Were Innocent

-

The story of Adam and Eve has been a big baffle to me. Adam was the first to be created, God gives Adam the instruction not to eat from the tree in the middle of the garden, Eve wasn't even there so she did not have the opportunity to hear the instructions, go figure. God made the two of them innocent, incapable of knowing good from evil. God then creates a situation where they are required to employ the knowledge of good and evil. Does that make sense at all?

It seems to me that God had predestined for them to fail. He created them being innocent so that they could not be able to make the right choice.It also baffles me why God had to place the tree and the snake in the garden. If he was a loving and caring God, he would have removed the tree and the snake from the garden since they posed huge danger to his beloved creation, a danger that would separate him from them. I remember when my daughter was young. She had started crawling and could not tell there were many dangers in her environment. Dangers such as falling, burning or injuring oneself with sharp objects. She simple did not know what danger was.

Being that I love my daughter so dearly, I had to clear away every dangerous things like knives, hot water, burning candles etc. I would also supervise a lot when I had to light a candle or cook around her. See, a loving person would not put you at risk. They would do all they could to protect you!

Cesare Borgia was one of the illegitimate sons of a pope called Alexander V1,he was trained in the church and eventually became the archbishop in his teenage years. He was a tyrannical man. Valiant, fearless and merciless, he ruled with a heavy hand. He was the modern day slay king, but very power hungry.  He was deceitful and very randy, sleeping with many women and engaging in shady deals. It is even suspected that he had sexual escapades with his own sister Lucrezia.

Why are Atheists Always So Angry?

-
   Atheists have been long been misunderstood as bitter people. People who went through bitter experiences and are now channeling their anger to "God". We have been told about our mental health being in a poor state. We have been called lost and misguided. These words are by no means polite, they are pretty much accusatory, of ignorance and weakness on our part. Strangely enough, believers don't understand why such comments would put us off. In fact, believers expect atheists to respect every bible verse that springs out of their mouth, they expect atheists to cow when they threaten them with doom, curses and hellfire, to take their words so seriously. I consider this a very poor attitude towards civility. I as an atheist, am angry, at the continuous religious indoctrination of every generation that comes forth. I am angry that I cannot openly proclaim my atheism lest people get a bad image of me, may see me as a byword, may even start alienating me. I am  angry that athe...

Kina the TV series and it's portrayal of atheism

-

   It is heartbreaking that most religious people have the idea that atheism is the symbolism of evil. Most have the tendency to think that atheist minds are under the influence of the lord of the underworld, namely , 'Satan'. It is expected that a non believer of religion  has no conscience to steer him or her away from evil, and that the ability to do good comes from a god. This is quite wrong since we all know that animals such as dogs and elephants have demonstrated acts of kindness despite them not being followers of any religion. That aside, I got a few chances to watch Kina the Kenyan TV series and wasn't much shocked to find out that Nana, the villain in the story is an atheist. In one of the episodes, she opens up about not believing in God. This is quite good evidence that atheism is equated to evil here in Kenya. Believers are likely to label you as a Satan adherent if they find out you are an atheist, despite atheists not believing in the biblical...
