(but not Eve) so, when Eve ate from the tree of good and evil, it was not really sinfull, because she had never been told not to by god, only by Adam. likewise, among orthodox religious jews,(and many christian sects) it is wrong for men to use condoms, or any sort of birht control, but not for women... (but since the story of the creation is told in two places in genisis, and each one is slightly different, there is some ambiguety.)-- and if Eve got tossed, there still would have been Lilith.. my other obsession Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Lilith #68625 05/03/02 04:12 PM Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Faldage Carpal Tunnel Faldage Carpal Tunnel Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Ah!

She is (one of) my goddess(es). Adam rejected her because she wanted to be 'on top', and then went whin(g)ing to G-d to make him a new woman. So there you go, ribs and all.
