the feminists would blame patriarchy (even if some argue a woman wrote parts of the old testament). one feminist interpretation is that Adam wasn't a man, more of a hermaphrodite, and that man and woman were made simultaneously in separating the hermaphrodite into two sexes. so i guess they weren't hermaphrodites when they ate the forbidden fruit.  i'll have to revise for that technicality..

    If God, being genderless, made us in his image (is there no end to the hubris of humans?), then we were created as Ken/Barbie
and the original sin  was God's. This probably happened on the eighth day, with evolution being created on the ninth.  Of few feminists,
just like some members of the patriarchy, might assert this.  It has everything to do with who gets bragging rights to power and vengeance.  
Most feminists agree with most members of the patriarchy in finding this simplistically amusing.  Evolution, sexual or sexless, works either
way (though the sexless way takes much longer). -- And I DO love this poem.

Nice one Kole - that made me laugh. I found myself contemplating the line "The Lord looks needy in the garden". Very cool.

Talking to Yourself

God vomits creation.
The Lord looks needy in the garden.
God's serpent teaches hermaphrodites to eat.
Lord God kicks everyone out.

yeah jack miles pointed this out to me. in the garden, the "lord" (not god) asks, "where are you?" is if an omnipotent being would need to ask such a question.. needy deity looking for his pals.

    God, evidently, wasn't above using metaphor.
