Then what? No Genesis by a Creator God. No Adam and Eve and no “fall from grace”. No need for a “Redeemer”, thus making Jesus nothing more than a carpenter and itinerant preacher. No need for Jesus to be crucified in order to “redeem us from our sins. No God at all. No way to establish ethical conduct except by humans working with one another to set standards. Then what? Do you simply “despair”, or do you adapt within that framework of humans establishing their own ethical standards?
And no “fudging” by trying to turn the thread into a debate about whether there is a “God” or otherwise trying to hijack the thread by changing the centrality of the questions and topic. Just answer the questions as asked, with no assumption of the truthfulness of Christianity or any other religion.
