adam and eve

[smellthefunk420]

I'm not huge on religion, I always knew that adam and eve fucked up when they ate the apple.

Now don't laugh if this is something everyone knows.. I just had a thought while tripping that this whole apple deal is just a metaphor of something much larger that happened with man in this time period, and was later interpreted as such

Again, maybe this is what everyone knows.. I always thought an actual apple was munched on

Smoke on

I don't think it was called an apple lol, If I remember from sunday school it was some forbidden fruit. Lol, I had one of those children's comic book bibles.

were not even religious either, we went to church with friends when I was younger (friends invited us) but we were never really religious at all. I hated church lol, so lame remember sitting in church listening to the really boring crap which I never listened to and then they pass the basket around and you have to give "donations" lol, pay money to go to church.

anyways when I was younger I remember my mom told me a weird story about Adam and Eve, she told me that before they ate the forbidden fruit people did not need to shit and just smelled the food to relieve their hunger but after Adam and Eve ate the fruit God had to create assholes so they could shit and that pissed off God.

assholes everywhere shitting all over the world. At least that's my mom's story, don't think I was told that in Sunday school lol.

The Bilbe is just full of fictional stories lol, wasn't Eve created from a backbone or a rib of Adam. Adam was all horny and lonely with all his pet animals, giraffs, lions, horses all happily living with Adam but he needed a Ho, so good created a naked chick for Adam to play with.

Perhaps you would be interested in reading up on archeologist David Rohl's theories, here's a teaser:

He's not a new age nut, some of his theories actually do hold water.

cool read it talks about the mountains of kush with lush gardens, perhaps something to do with where the strain originated?

 

[Rosy Cheeks]

Kush isn't really a strain (except in California), it is more the definition of a type of plant that comes from the Kush valley.
But yes, the area between Anatolia (Turkey) and Iran, including Mesopotania, is where archeology finds the first evidence of agriculture, domestication of animals, cities, writing, in fact civilisation. It is probably also where religion was invented, and by coincidence, this is where Cannabis orginiates, as a species cultivated by man. I don't think it is too farfetched to speculate that some of the ideas that laid the foundation of civilisation (religion, philosophy, astronomy) came from people that had toked on some good bud.

Prior to eating the fruit man had no shame, nor pain, nor guilt. Afterwards they had all these things. They also had the need to reproduce. Not sure on what interpretation the fruit could be. Not too big on religion especially genesis because it is the most inferred part of the bible imo. Also yummy about smelling fruit no line of the bible, at least the ones Ive read, mentions that but it does mention shame as afterwards is when they felt the need to clothe themselves. I could be wrong as I don't stay too long on genesis. Imo genesis is just a chapter to describe the penalties to giving in to temptation. It mentions a few times how the fruit was pleasing to the eyes and eating it gave pleasure. Doesn't quite explain how before giving in to temptation they were free of shame but meh Ill leave it at that for now.

what the bible actually says is that adam and eve ate from the fruit of 'the tree of knowledge of good and evil'... according to the genesis, this specific tree was not to be eaten by adam and even, this was told to them expressly by god; this led to them getting kicked out of eden etc... the snake had tempted adam and eve by telling them that if they ate from 'the tree of knowledge of good and evil' they'd become like god...

 

[Verite]

Yes its a metaphor since everyone knows who invented the apple.

PazVerde is correct in saying that it was the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I doubt seriously that it was an apple, as I have eaten many apples in my lifetime and am still dumber than shit. I have not had an opportunity to know evil for some time, though I still keep trying.

It is interesting to note that Eve was deceived by the snake(satan) and Adam chose to follow his wife(mate/Ho take your pick). For that reason, God chose man as spiritual head of the family because woman got deceived by Satan, but man just got led around by the balls by woman.

Also interesting to note that the Mormon religion believes that if they live a good life, when they die they will become Gods and have as many wives as they want.. Maybe they eat too many apples and believe Satan, who knows? Only a fool would want more than one wife. I couldn't even handle that. Can you imagine 10 wives all going through PMS at the same time? I can understand having a younger wife when the older one is going through menopause, but the older one should be sent to the shed to live for a couple years till she got over it.

hola pops, perhaps if you were a god, the kind of wives you would have would not present the problems we find in our human experience hehehe...
it is good to know that it is said of lord krishna, that he is able to give multiple orgasms to women just by glancing at them, with that kind of skills, i don't think there would be any women acting up; well, you never know...

peace

Paz, Hola amigo. If I were God, I would ban marriages and all groups with initials, like IRS,CIA and DEA. Unlike Lord Krishna, when I look at women they get a headache.
