That is very heavy deconstruction for a sunday morning. All i can say is this is a very interesting post. And as you know from my blog - i still debate whether i'm agnostic or athesiest (this post pushes me toward the athesiest) and I still don't get men and their desires. And yes, I know what I want from a man. And am quite happy with explaining them.... Great Job! Wow. That is very heavy deconstruction for a sunday morning.

Manchild, whenever I read your blog, I am never disappointed. What an interesting perspective to have. Thought-provoking and I'm so glad you put it out there. I admit that I am not the "Christian" that I am "supposed" to be (meaning that I do not strictly adhere to all the mores and tenets in the Bible). But I do enjoy hearing people's rhetoric about issues like this. I love that you are taking the lessons/stories from the Bible and attempting to adapt them to modern times, realizing that times have changed since the days of origin and since the days that the Bible was written. As for the topic, I do believe Eve loved Adam and vice versa. They had no other choice. I agree with Anna (comment #31), about if there had been more choices. If God had given Adam three "perfect" women or if Eve could have been paired with any of three "perfect" men, who is to say what would have happened... I loved reading this post and enjoyed the discussion. I make my comments not to disparage any viewpoint. This is definitely a multi-part post and I look forward to reading the next one. Wow.

They didn't have anything to compare with. The concept of "ideal partner" would never occur that time. I believe these two loved each other. 2) The snake or Satan didn't seduce Eve away from Adam. And if Eve was weak, that didn't mean that she didn't love Adam. Satan attacks us by making us doubt God's words. God said they can eat any fruit in Eden except for a fruit of that one tree... Adam and Eve obeyed God and enjoyed all the fruit in the garden except that fruit, but this snake made Eve doubt God's words. "Do you really think you will die if you eat the fruit?", the snake hissed. The snake was treacherous, vile, and deceiving. Let us not be swayed by the snake in our thought but instead focus and have faith in God's words. I have some arguments which I would like to express:

I am a Catholic and your story puts things in a different perspective for me...it allowed me to see and think about certain things I never thought about before.... As far as the married question, I'm not a married person but I can answer based on others' experiences. I do know certain people who are married, and hate they love each other. Personally I do not know how people go on living this lie...but based on certain circumstances, people are forced and have no choice. Once again, great post, and I'm looking forward to reading more.
