The Adam and Eve story is one of the main reasons I feel it hard to believe any of it.

To be told that we are being punished by God because of their sins and that we all descend from the same two people is just too far fetched for me.

But then if you mention that a Christian will always say it isn't meant to be taken litterally and that it is only a way of expressing other things to us.

If you can say that about one part of the Bible then how can you guarantee any part of it is factual?

Such as the miracles Jesus performed.

I just don't get along with it at all.

If I am to believe in something I'd like it to be believable. You might call that skeptism, but I think I have enough reason for it.
