I was out cutting my lawn this morning when I was interrupted by 2 men who told me that they were there to answer my questions. I told them that I didnt have any. They then asked You dont have any questions about God and the kingdom of heaven?. I told them that I didnt because there was nothing to question. They then said Oh, you must read the bible often. I told them that I was Agnostic and that I had no belief in a book that was ordered to by written by Constantine so that he could get everyone to worship one religion. They then asked me if I had faith. I told them that there was a distinct difference between faith and tangible evidence and that the bible had none. So then they said Oh so you have no faith in anything? and I said I have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow. As they started to think they had a breakthrough on their hands, I told them that my faith was based on historical data in that the sun rose this morning and it rose yesterday morning and although I cant promise that it will rise tomorrow, I have faith that it will. They then asked if I believed that the earth was created by God. I told them that it was created and thats as far as I would go. I told them that the bible was ambiguous and that those stories that they wanted included were, and those that were not wanted, were removed. I told them that they removed the part in Genesis where Lilith was the first woman and said obviously that the Adam couldnt get along with her and therefore, several chapters later, they mention that Eve was created after putting Adam to sleep and taking a rib, although both men and women have the same number of ribs. They were getting obviously uncomfortable but asked what did I think happened when you died? I said when youre dead...youre dead. He then said that the bible says the same thing and I cut him off and said that in later books, its also said that if you accept God, you will live eternally in Heaven. Ambiguous. They told me that they had to move on to the other homes. I told them that they interrupted me because they wanted to talk to me about Jehovas Witnesses but they walked off, saying they had to go. I think they wished they hadnt stopped. I imagine they went to the local 7-11 and bought a 6-pack, wondering what the hell it was they just encountered. :)
