Have any of you ever thought that maybe God didn't write the bible? What if someone or a group of people just made it up? I know your first question will be why would anyone want to write a book like that anyways. Well if a man or group of men wrote it they did a masterful job, they blame themselves for Eve eating the apple, because it was Adams job to teach Eve everything she needed to know. Then Adam is punished by God and it becomes his responsibility to care for and protect Eve and so Mans place in the world is set as the Guardian and caretaker of Women. This may not seem very good but when you really think about it this very kind of thing is what gave men dominace over women. Isn't that a great way to take power in the world, tell everyone God wills it. And isn't it a little fishy that Adam was made first. Wouldn't women seem closer to God's own image, isn't God forgiving and loving etc., not that Men can't have these qualities too, it's just that, lets face it we just need to look around to see the truth. On top of that Women we given a gift that Men can't really understand, the power to create life, Men might argue that they have as much a part as women, but the women are the ones who nourish and care for the children most often, in fact they are built for it. I know this isn't very complete or a very strong argument at the moment but i'll add more, and I'll try to write a draft before bringing my thoughts on this page next time, thanks to anyone who reads this, and please respond I'd like to hear other points of view on the subject.--
