The Manly response to the "Eve was better, and God was a woman joke" when God created "EVE" He knew it was a terrible joke, Who could get lost in paradise and not worry except a woman, Adam wouldn't need a remote if he wasn't given the apple, and thus knowledge of the worldly desires and vices. Fashion didn't exist until Eve grabbed a fig leaf instead of a palm leaf. Until Adam was tempted there was no illness or pain, thanks to woman - "Eve" even the slightest pain is agonizing to a man. Who needs garbage night when all those critters will gladly clean up for you, - oops, we diviated from God's divine plan, and now they don't respond to our wishes. Thank "God" Our Father saw fit to put the blame where it should lay, and so woman had childbirth - a reminder of "God's perfect creation" he allows her to share in - so she knows what "Eve" messed up. Every now and then Adam would hide a tool to get Eve out of his hair. Only a woman would find fault with a man for telling the blunt truth.. then claim to be the victim to escape blame... and make a man feel guilty about it. On the 6th day God created "Man" and called it Good, on the seventh day he rested. Yes, God was all man, that's why Adam had pleasure and Eve got the shaft... Question- "why do popular culturalist insist on identifying God as female, - Christ definitively Identified God as father in the "Lord's Prayer", and in some of his words - Mt28v42 "My Father, if it is not possible that this cup pass without my drinking it, your will be done!" and in his warning excerpted from Lk 9 v26 "Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels." Sorry, I just get annoyed at people passing that old blasphemous joke about. - keep on laughing though.
