Creation Stories
One day, in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God: "I have a problem!"
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these
wonderful animals, and that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy."
"Why is that, Eve," came the reply from above.
"I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples."
"Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."
"What's a 'man'?"
"This man will be a flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat, and
be vainglorious; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But, he'll be bigger, faster, and
will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly aroused, but since you've been
complaining, I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your - ah - physical
needs. He'll be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball
about. He won't be too smart, so he'll also need your help to think properly."
"Sounds great," says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow. "What's the
catch?"
"Yeah, well... you can have him on one condition."
"What's that?"
"As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant, and self-admiring...so you'll have to let
him believe that I made him first... So, just remember... it's our secret...
Woman-to-woman!" |
