"The Christian God is a father who cares more for his apples than for his children." - Denis Diderot

I saw this quote on Facebook and started thinking about it.  I mean it really makes me think about what I truly believe about the Bible and such.  I don't see the Bible as being 100% true.  I think quite a bit of it is made up of stories.  Like, Adam and Eve.  Did God really care about them eating that piece of fruit so much that he banned them from the garden of Eden (just as if he kicked them out of his house)?!?  It makes no sense to me!  I went to a Christian grade school while growing up.  In Kindergarten we learned about Adam and Eve alongside the story of Pandora's Box.  Both are stories of how evil entered the world.  I'm surprised we were even allowed to be taught of Pandora's Box.  They probably didn't think of it as being very harmful.  I mean, it isn't, but to fundamental Christians, if they were to think about it, it would be harmful to their children...in a sense.  I'm not trying to start a debate, just some thoughts I've been thinking this morning.  Anyway, yea, so both are just stories...tales you tell your children of why things are the way they are.  Who knows?!?  Maybe someday I'll get to the conclusion that the Bible isn't true at all?!?  IDK.
