I don't hate people.Is that a yes or a no?
I'm not like you.
And I'm very thankful for that.
Now, go back to pretending to be a Christian.

You are the self appointed gatekeeper of the truthI don't hate people.

Rationality is paramount in Gnostic Christianity.What do you think?
The story of god is the story of DNA.God is a myth.
Speculate on condemning Yahweh to hell, where he belongs for his crimes against humanity.I love to speculate and meditate.
Without ever admitting that Jesus was never anointed to Christ by the Jews.One of the modern Christian apologists Dostoevsky said about the same thing, one of his heroes makes a choice between truth and Christ and chooses Christ
Does truth include moral truth?“If someone proved to me that Christ is outside the truth and that in reality the truth were outside of Christ, then I should prefer to remain with Christ rather than with the truth."
I think that I understand what he meant.
Can you be religious yet rational?
Kaa, the serpent in Egypt, represents soul.Almost all the epithets of Yahweh's opponents carry the semantics of the ancient heavenly gods. Satan apparently descended from Set, the sun god of Egypt, Lucifer means the luminiferous, the "Devil" comes from heaven's aryan "Dev". The horned image of the devil is copied from Saman, the Celtic analogue of the heavenly god of the Aryans in the form of a bull, the good god of the Celts.
And the opposite is also true. "God" from "Hades", underground serpentine king, Slavic version of "Bog" is also identical to Sanskrit "Bhoga"(Serpent)
No...Kaa, the serpent in Egypt, represents soul.
The serpent was used by many as holy in the ancient religions.
Christianity sent many inquisitions to end the light bringers wisdom.
They failed, as more and more are recognizing the immorality in what was once a decent universalist religion to the divisive one of today.

Not too surprising when Christian morality has made them adore a genocidal, homophobic and misogynous god.What is irrational for atheists disdaining Bible stories is that they never see past the setting to the purpose--which is the lessons or moral--of that story.
No to what, and thanks for confirming the widespread serpent respect.No...
In ANE culture the serpent was symbolic of wisdom. Even in Judaism it was the same.
Seraph is the Hebrew word for serpent...Seraphim is the plural form. You might know them as a form of Heavenly host but they were representative of God's wisdom.
In that aspect you were correct...No to what, and thanks for confirming the widespread serpent respect.

The US government passes about 40,000 new laws every year.
Fun fact.In that aspect you were correct...
But it was just a symbol...a type or metaphor.
Pharaoh had one on one of his headresses. (His wisdom was supposedly supreme)
The serpent itself wasn't so revered as much as whatever it was symbolizing was.
That's what the "no" was about.
All serpent cults originated only from the earth, they opposed the heavenly host. This is repeated in all ancient myths, starting from the ancient Mesopotamian myth of the confrontation between the Anunnaki and the Igigi, then the Vedic Assuras and Devas, the Greek Titans and the Olympians. The word for snake was almost the same as for earth, they have the same root in some languages. Serpents have never been heavenly anywhere, this is absolutely nonsenseYou might know them as a form of Heavenly host
I have no problem with that, given that the only worthy candidate for a god is nature.in fact, they boil down to one concept: chthonism
Egyptian is one of the oldest forms of writing...Ebla is another. Hebrew is the absolute oldest written living language.All serpent cults originated only from the earth, they opposed the heavenly host.
