You know, I admire you for not exploding by now.

Dude, I think a lot of people from Christian religions would be as pissed as you are. Because they sounds like crazy bastards.

Good luck with the reign of terror. I'll be rooting for you.

X_x You know, for the most part, I don't mind Christians. It's when they start forming their little cults for Christ that I start having problems.

(Genesis and Noah and why sinners aren't smote enough these days.

Oh please can god smote them first! *bouncs*)

"Well, you came from one of my ribs, so you don't count."

*headdesk* I think, at that point, I'd point out that all humans, male or female, have the same number of ribs unless they're mutants of some kind, and that unless he's Adam himself he's nothing but a dumbass with delusions of granduer. Not to say that Adam was the sharpest tool in the shed if Eve could convince him to eat the apple in the first place...(I never understood why women were supposed to feel guilty for this. So Eve sinned. Would it have killed Adam to at least take responsibilty for his own actions? It's not like Eve hogtied him and shoved the apple down his throat. All that story ever proves to me is that Adam is a whiny brat of low intelligence. So why isn't the moral of the story that men are easily manipulated because they're inherently stupid?)

Er, I think I'll stop contributing to the misery now...>_>;; (Meep! Sorry!)

*Stares at your last paragraph*
Oh boy, that piece of biblical lore is just the job for brainless sexists who can't stand losing an argument to a woman! ^^;;

::eye roll:: Okay, even IF Eve was created from one of Adam's ribs -- which is the most bizarre and retarded concept I've ever heard (and I'm counting wingfic and mpreg here) -- just because little dick there has a dick (I'm just assuming, I'm not betting money on it), he's not actually Adam and his SISTER is not Eve and just the idea that some moron would compare himself and his SISTER to Adam and Eve makes me wonder. Wonder about things like incest and just how fucked up this family is. Because, I'm thinking, if you let your kids compare themselves to the first "couple"? There's a tiiiiiny problem in your household.

I just don't understand why men would ever want to cite Adam and Eve as a reason for being superior to woman -- clearly if God created man and then created woman it was because he realized how seriously a fuck up man ever was.

They sound like the sort of people that I'd have trouble not being rude to, and we nominally share a religion. My favorite tactic with people like that is to nod wisely, say something like "Ah, the literalist heresy," then wander off. Sometimes it even works :-/

I had a similar problem at one of my last jobs. I just started posting posters like, HAPPY SUMMER SOLTICE! Around my desk on Pagan holidays.
