As the traditional image of the Genesis dictates, Eve offered to Adam the forbidden food which takes the shape of a prominent fruit in Death Note, in a popular portable music player’s icon, in G-Dragon’s recent solo album, in my stomach tonight, amidst other things. Because of luring a man to sample the said fruit, Eve was sentenced almost instantly to carry the lifetime burden of conception, which is really ironic in contrast to most women’s idea of giving birth as a blessing. So by the power of He-Man and the masters of the universe — God I mean, the whole humanity became fated to be somewhat transient. Everything is evidently Eve’s fault, isn’t it?

The affliction soon flung itself to Adam and Eve’s sons Cain and Abel. In the course of time, both decided to please God without even the knowledge of His preference with two different offerings; the produce of the land Cain tilled and the firstborn of Abel’s flock. As a result, God had regard for Abel and as a product of God’s spontaneous reaction, envy guaranteed itself a spot in the Seven Deadly Sins list as the first fratricide or as an added grim effect, the first case of murder occurred. But really, who wouldn’t feel bad if you were in Cain’s shoes or bare feet?

Don’t get me wrong, I believe in God’s existence and I don’t simply believe, I’m a believer. But a part of me, a large part of me doesn’t want to believe the Bible. Even though the process of flipping a random page and eyeing a random verse is oft an effective way to come up with a prompt remedy, I still somehow think that these books compiled to form both the New and Old Testament are works of writers unusually inventive to subdue the facts with overtones of God’s mashed up characteristics and some patriarchal views (as exhibited by Adam and Eve).

Truth be told, this is the reason why I’ve always refused to delve deeply into the nitty-gritty of the Bible. It’s just that I have a different image of God and it’s definitely not what some of the books of the Bible establish — the absolute, the extra dreadful and the fairly selfish God when it comes to offerings and worshipping. God, permit me to express my deepest apology for a lot of things, things which I need an apology for, whether or not I thought they’re were liable to deserving punishments. Wait, by the way, this post is among them.

I’m glad that my parents are not aware of my blog’s existence or at least, its URL or so I think?
