Reminds me of me at that age

This video reminds me of the time when I was about 8 or 9 and I was attending Sugarloaf Christian Church Camp in Kentucky. I distinctly remember asking two questions of the camp counselors there who were supervising/"educating" us during Bible story time.

The first question was, "Did Adam and Eve turn into cavemen with big foreheads who wore animal fur after they got kicked out of the Garden of Eden?"

The counselors looked at each other and then the one in charge said something like, "Well, yes... after they were banished from the Garden of Eden they had to start wearing animals skins for clothing."

A couple more kids asked some questions and then I raised my hand again and they warily called on me.

My second question was, "If everybody on the earth drowned during the floods except for Noah and his family, does that mean we're all related to Noah."

The counselor in charge, somewhat relieved, answered, "Yes. We are all children of Noah." to which I said, "So that means that Noah's wife and children and brothers and sisters had to make babies together?"

I wasn't TRYING to be a pain in the ass. I was sincerely curious.

They didn't call on me again after that one.

LOL...my counselor told us that incest was okay back then.

"They were allowed to have incestuous relations just like Ptolomy and his Dynasty." ROFL! "Even God Himself allowed Lot and his daughter to be saved from Sodom and Gomorrah and they promptly got drunk and had daughter/father incestuous sex and begot sons from that union."

Well, then, there's the proof I suppose. LOL

My 12 year old thinks we all evolved from apes and Adam and Eve were the first "real" humans. *sigh*

All I know is that I either have to believe that we all come from a God that is located in some other dimension beyond our understanding or physical world

or

There was nothing, and nothing exploded, and nothing laid around so long that it began to live.

I choose to believe that There is a God who is not exactly physical but beyond our physical world.

I also choose to believe that religion is not a tool to beat people over the head with just because we "think" we know what it "right."

Yes, I'm that kind of crazy.
