i find the entire concept of religion to be quite narcissistic.
in talking to most religious people, especially christians, you get the feeling that this entire universe was put here by some omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent being. that means that everything that we see when we look into the night sky was put here for one sect of the entire population of this planet. doesn't really work for me,
not only that, but if there is life on other planets does that mean that "orinigal" sin occured in numerous different gardens of eden? did the stupid C U Next Tuesday actually listen to the serpent and eat from the tree of knowledge over and over and over again? or is it possible that on some planet somewhere that she and adam (or whatever they might be called) ate from the tree of life instead and now have everlasting life?
continuing with life on other planets, does that also mean the the immaculate conception occurred numerous times? was christ then crucified numerous times? in some ways this seems like it takes away free will if it did. what if it had all happened before on another planet before this one formed out of star dust? does that mean that the same thing happened all over again, just that the names had been changed to protect the innocent. and if this supposed god is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent why wasn't he able to immediately stop eve from eating from the tree of knowledge and thereby allow them to live out there lives in naked bliss through all eternity?
