Origin Story

In common religious lore, Adam was created “in the image of God,” and Eve was fashioned from one of his ribs to keep him company.

In this story, Satan in form of a snake speaks to Eve, activating her imagination and tempting her to cross boundaries.

First of all, where was Adam – and how was Eve being treated by him that her consolation and friend was a snake?

Second, this origin myth puts blame on women for being designed as inquisitive – and gives a pass to any man’s violent tendencies and wrong actions because women are blamed for Adam and Eve’s being “cast out of the garden.”

Yet, methinks there are truths to our origins that are hidden, kept from us to control and manipulate us.

For what better lies can sow seeds of confusion than partial mistruths that almost make sense – but don’t – when examined by Reason?

Take it back to when Satan snake was in The Garden.

If God made all things, and Knows All, he allowed Satan to be there.

Maybe this has all been a test of Man’s ability to Govern well, and to grant Forgiveness.
