Before reporting: I’m a mod

With Texas and other states forcing religion in public schools, this now is political.

    To be fair, the book basically never mentions daughters unless they’re plot relevant, so it could be that Adam’s sons were sisterfuckers rather than motherfuckers.

        Wait, there is an incest ph category? Is there a concentration camp fetish category? I could recommend that one to a shitload of people.

        Later… out of desperation… have you seen how accurate to the bible reditions of angels look like?

        And you have to be quite desperate to fuck those things!

          “Did you ever notice how in the Bible, whenever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?”

          -Thomas Daggett, the Prophecy

      And after Cain, Abel, and Seth, Adam had multiple other children who are never named. We don’t know who, how many, or genders.

      Genesis 5:4-5

      "4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

      5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died."

      That’s it. But I’d imagine you could get a lot of sons and daughters in 800 years…

        800 moon years. So about 80 real ones. The text is from a time where a year was based on the moon cycle. Iirc.

          All the long lives mentioned in Genesis probably have a numerological meaning that is completely lost to time.

      Or. Or. The bible is merely allegorical in these descriptions. Naming individuals rather than larger peoples of the world.
