Everyone makes incest jokes about Adam and Eve and their children but they never mention that there was another woman named Lilith (Adam's first wife) who would have added variance to the gene pool. (lemmy.world)

Well, since it’s all made up, I guess you can claim whatever you want.

    We're here for an interesting discussion. Mythology totally off the table for you?

    May as well be discussing the hypothetical offspring of Santa and the Easter Bunny.

    How about we discuss John Steinbeck's novel East of Eden. Know where the title came from and how that plays into the story?

    Go back to /r/atheism child. Adults are conversing about mythology.

    Unfortunately I doubt you're going to have an academic discussion like this in a stupid thread in showerthoughts.

    Although it doesn't sound like the discussion you seem to want to have would be very interesting.

    Edit: I was partly wrong. There's lots of very interesting mythology discussion happening in this post.

    lol... I'm not even an atheist and I recognize the shit is all made up. Do you actually believe it happened?? or is this just "everyone I don't like is ugly"

    to be fuckin honest, if the guy in the picture said the top comment, that's probably one of the most sexy and agreeable things he's said since breakfast

    It's not even that I disagree with you, it's that there can't be a discussion about the lore of a religion without someone trying to feel smart and superior by saying it's all made up.

    Like, yes... Obviously. That's not the point of the post. People are allowed to enjoy things.
