What we can learn from the tale of Adam and Eve.

 


Okay, before we get started, why Adam and Eve had belly buttons, only God knows.

The story goes that God created Adam first. 

God said to him, "Okay, I'm going to make you a female companion, but it'll cost you a part of your body."

Adam replied, "Sounds good. What would it cost me to get a real babe? You know, a very beautiful and smart woman who certainly would follow your instructions."

God replied, "That would cost you an arm and a leg."

Adam thought for a little while and then he replied, "Okay, what can I get for a rib?"

This is where things started to come undone for Adam. Tent Horn says, "That bloody apple! That bloody talking snake! That is the price Adam paid for only offering a rib."


Forward to the present day.

I recently wrote a post titled 'PLEASE, NO COMMENTS ON THIS POST'. 
Now you have to understand that I have plenty of posts that people can comment on but, like God and his apple tree, I asked people not to comment on this one.

Hey, TC, that's not a towel on my head.
Look more closely, you blind old man.

Two notorious bloggers have left comments (now deleted). They are Peter (aka The Curmudgeon, The Wine Guy, The Religious Curmudgeon and many other names) and Robert (aka Rob, Trans Roberto, Roberto Testore and Roberto Testero). It is disturbing when you learn that they were both raised as Catholics and both know the story of Adam and Eve well.

Still, they both 'bit the apple'. 

If I had a Garden of Eden, I would banish them both from it. I really know how God must have felt.
It seems that history does repeat itself.

I am mostly ashamed of Robert because he preaches all that Catholic stuff - read his blog, just click on 'Tent Horn' on our LINKS list.

At least we know that Peter is a person you cannot trust - remember the communion hosts incident?


I rest my case.
Maybe this post needs to be added to The Holy Bible?

They don't seem to pick the best leaves to cover their private parts, do they.

Adam looks a bit gay in that pic.

Well, he could have tried for a man. Maybe by losing a scrotum.

I don't get that! "tried for a man"?
God created man first, and then He got it right!
The Bible is to be read at many levels. Accounts like those in Exodus are from oral tradition. Still they are far more revealing than other 'pagan' explanations where multiple Gods are fighting (and bonking) and this somehow results in creation!
It is interesting to contemplate that Mary is the second Eve.
I've heard it suggested that God waited till homo sapiens had evolved to the present form before implanting an eternal soul, thus explaining the billy button.
Adam and Eve may represent thousands of people also. So actually I don't know.

Yes - you don’t know you silly belly.

Billy Button sounds like a policeman in an Enid Blighton story.

I think I’ll look for some Enid Blyton (correct spelling now) stories on the internet rather than hang around waiting for a new post on this blog.
