"Pointing out that the Adam & Eve story is literally about God cancelling humans over a fruit isnt lack of educationits basic textual observation. Genesis explicitly describes expulsion from Eden as punishment for disobedience. From a sociological perspective this is one of the earliest examples of divine authority enforcing compliance. And scientifically we know morality and social rules evolve culturally not supernaturally. So the meme is NOT ignorance; its satire rooted in both scripture and social science. High salute to the one who created it."

"The Core Question If water does not change when blessed then what changes Only belief. And belief when detached from evidence does not remain confined to ritual. It becomes a lens through which reality itself is interpreted. The skeptical critique is not an attack on comfort or tradition. It is a defense of intellectual integrity. Because once we allow one claim to bypass evidence we weaken the standard that protects us from error everywhere else. Holy water may seem harmless. But the way we justify believing in it may not be. https://x.com/TheSkepticWiz/status/2021558113560592885"

"Unplugging AI if it goes rogue is not remotely comparable to God drowning His creations. Why Because AI is a human-made tool and if it malfunctions shutting it down is a corrective act to prevent harm. Its targeted proportional and doesnt involve killing innocents. By contrast the biblical flood was indiscriminate annihilationchildren animals and entire populations wiped out for disobedience. Thats not correction thats collective punishment. Justice requires proportionality and fairness; unplugging a malfunctioning program fits that standard drowning infants does not. So the analogy fails:"

Ancient Greek thinkers like Aristotle and Archimedes laid foundations of logic mathematics and physics centuries before the Bible was compiled. The Scientific Revolution (16th17th centuries) was driven by figures like Galileo Kepler and Newton. While some were religious their breakthroughs often clashed with Church dogma (e.g. Galileos heliocentrism condemned by the Catholic Church). Atheism does not destroy science.
