LOL! Yes, Adam should’ve been more involved in Eve’s daily walks!

I just noticed the reference to “night monster” a few days ago when reading my Bible, so I looked it up and found that a demon is one possibility but that a night bird was more likely, since references to demons are uncommon in the Old Testament. As it was in a list of various birds, I am inclined to agree; i.e., anyone seeing an owl swooping down on small prey might consider those long, sharp talons a monstrous thing indeed.

The Lilith story doesn’t even make sense biblically; it has all the markings of a myth from someone more interested in story-telling than in history. Apparently all of the major religions have some who aren’t content with studying their original writings but who want to jazz up their religion with fanciful tales and mercurial rules.

What a horrible creature is Lilith and certainly worthy of being the abortion industry’s mascot.

Actually...

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

Dude was there the whole time.
