It is an “open thread”. Debate is allowed.
This is from the Religion Mod on Open threads:

Open threads are a town square. Antagonism though not encouraged, should be expected
Posters may argue for or against beliefs of any kind. They may tear down other’s beliefs. They may ridicule.
On all threads, but particularly “open” threads, posters must never “make it personal.” Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of “making it personal.” Making a thread “about” another Freeper is “making it personal.”
When in doubt, review your use of the pronoun “you” before hitting “enter.”
Like the Smoky Backroom, the conversation may be offensive to some.
Thin-skinned posters will be booted from “open” threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters.
It goes back to Enki and Enlil, Enlil off earth and Enki cast down to Earth were brothers at one time working together. Enki created mankind on Enlil’s orders but when mankind started to reproduce on their own and became to large in numbers Enlil ordered them destroyed by the flood but Enki who loved his creations sought to save them by having them build a ark. Hence God and the Devil, Now you decide which is which!
