"He did not curse the tree because He was hungry and there was nothing to eat" The bible says He did. It says He was hungry and it says He walked from afar to the tree hoping he could eat. But don't let the facts get in your way. Whatever you don't like in the bible just invent a secret meaning. You don't want to see God choosing soldiers by the primitive comparison of whether or not they drink water like animals....no problem...just make up a "message". You don't like God murdering 42 school children by massacring them with bears...no problem...it is a "message". It seems odd to you that God should believe mental illness is caused by "demons" and even odder that God should send those demons into pigs and destroy all the pigs...no problem...invent a "message". You wonder why God sought a mate for Adam amongst the animals and you don't want to see this as a primitive myth tale...no problem...make up a "message". You are puzzled at why God wedged Moses between two rocks to show Moses His hind parts...no problem...just use your wonderful imagination. "Since you make no such claim you don't need to know." I know what the text means. It was you who claimed to the thread that it meant something else.

You remind me of the red queen: "Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." or...______________________________ "The name of the song is called 'Haddocks' Eyes.'" "Oh, that's the name of the song, is it?". Alice said, trying to feel interested. "No, you don't understand," the knight said, looking a little vexed. "That's what the name is called. The name really is 'The Aged, Aged Man.'" "Then I ought to have said 'That's what the song is called'?" Alice corrected herself. "No, you oughtn't: thats quite another thing! The song is called 'Ways and Means': but that's only what it is called, you know!" "Well, what is the song, then?" said Alice, who was, by this time completely bewilderred. "I was coming to that," the Knight said. "The song really is'A-sitting On a Gate': amd the tune's my own invention." Lewis Carrol
