As we pull back the curtain, we see him for the impostor that he is. He shouts desperately into the microphone, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me, for I am a jealous god! pay no attention to that man behind the curtain… or else!”
How does anybody read the first few pages of the Bible and continue to believe that the god described therein is
supreme, omniscient, omnipotent, or trustworthy? Genesis 3 describes a metaphysical conspiracy, not a religion.
In both Genesis 1 and 2, God creates the world, animals, and the first people; a predictable beginning for a creation myth. Then in Genesis 3, the story gets weird when god cautions the first man, Adam, not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because it is deadly. In the original Hebrew version of this story, Adam’s wife is named Chava which means life. The serpent comes along and asks her, “did god tell you not too eat something?…”
Now, there is some background information that can not be ignored. The ancient Goddess of antiquity, a world famous superstar at that time, was known for eating the fruit of knowledge, from her sacred fig trees, or Tree of Life. She consorted with serpents, which had symbolized wisdom in that part of the world for a long, long time. She shared all of these goodies with her son/lover, who was also a god.
So back to Life in the garden, we have this translation of the words of the author of Genesis:
‘And the serpent said unto the woman: “Ye shall not surely die; for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.” And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together.’
Following this eye-opening event, our star couple seems to descend into a classic bad trip; feeling vulnerable, ashamed or naked. God returns, blindly asking where they are. Upon discovering that the humans have this important new insight, God utters the incriminating cry of dismay, “Look! The man has become like one of us, with the knowledge of good and evil.” He blames the man for being influenced by woman and, in his frustration, he reveals to all, that it is Woman who is harder to control than Man. His disgust at Man for trusting Woman (the Goddess) over him is apparent in his cursing Man to labor over the earth in vain. His rage against Woman and his desire to keep her down are evinced in the curses he heaps upon her: to give birth to a greater number of children, to suffer extra pain in labor, and worst of all, to be forced to obey and desire Man – the dumb clod who fell for God’s bullshit the first time. It is worth mentioning that these curses hearken back to an earlier time when people lived by gathering from the land, when women had fewer children and less painful birthing, were less dominated by men, and had a better understanding of their own bodies all; likely realities in pre agricultural societies.
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are a conspiracy to plunge humanity into a deep sleep, creating an army of blind followers, who in turn, impose these religions on others (family members included). The details and methods are encoded in this story of Adam and ‘Eve’.
1. Understand that Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden represent free, enlightened people who know how to live by gathering food from the land. They also represent the pagan civilizations of the ancient world which knew “Eve” to be the Great Goddess and who celebrated the knowledge of good and bad, life and death.
2. Do away with a true knowledge of good and bad, also called Karma, the age-old understanding that actions have repercussions which will likely return . Replace this truth with the notion that it is good to obey God’s word, however preposterous or corrupt, and it is bad to disobey God’s word for any reason.
3. Do away with humanity’s understanding that we are all eternal, divine pieces of the miracle of existence, and replace it with the lie that we at one time did not exist, but were later created by a single, all-powerful, all-knowing god who is in control of the world and will decide our fate upon our death.
4. Impose God’s curse, which happens to be the reality of living in an agricultural-based warrior culture; make most of the people work hard to barely survive by creating poverty and a class system. Make women have more children and encourage misery in childbirth. These scenarios are only possible with a food surplus, a sedentary lifestyle, and the suppression of woman’s knowledge of fertility awareness, birth control and abortion.
5. Put men in control of women. This form of “divide and conquer” is an effective way to confound the population. Remember that Adam was content to believe God’s deceptive warning. It was Chava (Eve) who decided to do what she wanted to do based on her own conclusion that knowing the truth is more desirable than being obedient to a liar. Who is the Hero of this story?
So, did the author of Genesis really think highly of God? Would a loyal fan show us that God curses humanity and keeps us from the tree of life, lest we live forever, and be as gods?
The author of Genesis spells it out for us: The difference between ourselves and the gods is the knowledge of good and evil, the understanding of our divine, eternal nature, and nothing much else.
It shouldn’t bother humans to be naked in the garden, for when we read the story of Genesis in this light, it is clear that it is the emperor who wears no clothes.
