Men, Not God, Get Angry When We Question Religious Rules And Beliefs.

Some of the readers of Savior Women In Eve's Garden apparently are under the impression that I have not read The Bible. Or, if I have read it, that I did not read with understanding or did not read the right chapters. They apparently believe that if I had done these things that I wouldn't raise the questions this blog sometimes raises about God, religion, The Bible, and the anti-Christian behaviors of those who claim to love and follow the teaching of Jesus Christ. Of course, I have no way of knowing whether or not this is the reason for... Read more →

Are Humans God's Best Design Or Just The Best God Could Do At The Time?

Is the human species the best God could do? Or are we just Experimental Children who are part of The Experiment in Eve's Garden? We are a species that gave up virgin children to serve as human sacrifices to appease God and gods. We are a species that tortured and murdered our own kind for both punishment and for the entertainment pleasure of a ruling class. Countless times, we have invaded another people, raped mothers, wives, and daughters as the rightful spoils of war and conquest, and slaughtered the citizens of thriving cultures for control of their homeland. We have... Read more →

The Human Male Is The Best Argument Against Intelligent Design.

I am inclined to believe in a God of Creation but first must admit that the human male is the best argument against Intelligent Design. Nothing about the behavior, psychology, and sensibilities of men in Eve's Garden can lead any rational thinking man or woman to assume that the creation of the male of our species was an intelligent decision--especially if male domination and the violence that accompanied it was a predictable outcome by an Omnipotent God. We can be on one side or the other. Either the belief Christians have that our Creator God is a God of Love... Read more →

The Suicidal Absurdity Of Violence and War In Eve's Garden

Except for tyrants, self-proclaimed demigods, war profiteers, and the corporate bane of humankind that is the military industrial complex, war makes no humanly logical sense. Civil war, even for tyrants and corporate war profiteers in the military industrial complex, makes even less sense because a house divided against itself cannot not long endure or survive. Yet civil war is much more prevalent than any semblance of the global conflict we call world war. This fact alone, though there are numerous others, are clear indications that the human life we claim to value so highly will eventually come to an an... Read more →

Will Man's Taste For Genocide, Greed, And Violence Destroy Humanity?

Every species' driving instinct is to perpetuate its own kind. Every year, salmon swim upstream against a myriad of barriers and difficulties to spawn and make way for the next generation of their species. Some species of insects live for only a few days or only a few hours, their only function, to reproduce the next generation of babies to grow to adulthood. If perpetuation of the species is paramount for "lower" animal forms, why should it be different for humans? We recall a line from a previous post, "Ours is a simple reality. We need God and God needs... Read more →
