Guess what...POWER.

[Michael McLean]

Eve floating around in the garden, yeah.

Oh, there is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Hey, very pretty, and it is going to give me something.

What?

Power. I can get me God's power.

Chomp.

Now we have a world of people all vying for power!

I want the power!!! What do you think fame is all about, geniuses?

The whole world lusting after what it cannot have...power.

Sorry, you are deluded and living in a matrix of illusion. All the
power is God's and God's alone.

Can I get an amen?

No matter.

Actually it was about knowledge. A specific
type of knowledge. The knowledge of "good"
and "evil". That knowledge was granted.
Granted by "god". We know that's true because
the dirt people (well, the dirt man and the rib
lady) saw that they were naked. Evil. We know
that's true because they were cast out. Now
we have that knowledge. And that is how we
can tell that this GOB is an evil monster.
Can I get an AMEN?

Which is? Power!

What for?  Bullshit? :-). You evil monster!

Adam and Eve wanted power – to be like God.

Look around, blind man.  What gives your doctor power over you?
 Knowledge.  Unless you are a better doctor than him?  Why is the
airline pilot flying the plane while you are sitting in cattle class;
knowledge, which is power.

Why do Facebook/Meta, Apple, your government, et al., get
data/knowledge? Because knowledge is not a sandwich; it is power.

Stay in your own lane; ignorance is not knowledge and has no power.

All you can do is wank and crap talk.  Now you know why I speak so much
about wanking in alt.atheism. You now have the knowledge and the power
to know you are naked.  So, put some clothes (credibility) on!

Can I get a self-created atheist, "Me, me, me, did it?"

How about a fuck off instead.

Fuck off.

[Michael McLean]

Stop trying to get power, Timmy, you know you can't win.

"The whole world lusting after what it cannot have...power."

Yeah, it is not Timmy's belief so it isn't fact! :-)))))))))).

[JWS]

So knowledge can be power. Here we have a
story where GOB has made man and woman
purposely in a shameful state. He did this
knowing fully that he was hiding knowledge
(power if you like) from our naked couple.
Stupidly, he allowed his adversary to tell the
couple the truth. Tempted them to eat the
fruit. They did and then became as powerful
as GOB himself. Now they know that GOB
was the liar and the serpent the truth teller.
A doctor has no power over me. I choose
the doctor. The doctor meets MY standards.
We deal cooperatively with each other. I
asses the capabilities of my pilot who also
has no power over me. We operate in
cooperation with each other. I could always
be mistaken about this, I could be believing
a lie. They could be lying just like GOB lied.
But I have many many more reasons to
trust doctors and pilots of my choosing than
to trust some lying GOB.

[Michael McLean]

No.

What you are given enables you in everything.

You have a free choice, that's all.

The power remains The Enablers.

Unless you really did create yourself?

You choose to trust only yourself, and you are untrustworthy.

That pretty much leaves you where you are, nowhere.

[Tim]

Shut up, imbecile.

Shut up, imbecile. Go and ride your nonfact motorbike off of a nonfact cliff, and find out that the actual nonfact is the afterlife you so desperately crave to fill up that large void which constitutes your real life.

[JWS]

Perhaps. But at least I'm not ending my life
babbling like a moron about ancient fairy tales.

> That pretty much leaves you where you are, nowhere.

I'm am completely grateful that I am
apparently nothing like you.

[%]

so you ignore yourself

[Tim]

You said "want ant".
