It was Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve

[Demonaut]

Falwell is such a pasty fuck, hell is to good for him

[Sandpiper]

1. Pardon my asking

But where in the bible does it say that Adam and Eve were married? I know it refers to Eve as Adam's wife, but who the hell married them?

[Demonaut]

2. lol , never thought of that!

[bif]

5. Steve married them

Of course.

[elcondor]

37. Think of the scandal!

:-O

[AndyP]

7. lol

It says it next to the parts about rape and incest.

[Barad Simith]

39. Do Not Forget The Smashing Of The Enemy's Babies Against The Rocks.

I can find the Biblical reference to that holy little piece of inspiration, if anyone wants it.

(edited for spelling - it's 3:30 in the damn a.m.)

[AndyP]

42. you want some bad bible verses

Go to www.evilbible.com

I know it sounds like something if you read you'll go to hell but....
All the verses taht he quotes are true, I looked them up. I was in a catholic school for 8 years and never learned any of these things.

[ConcernedCanuk]

12. Ok - lets carry this a dangerous step further - -

.
.
.

If the world did indeed start out with Adam and Eve, (which I don't subscribe too anyhoo, but this is just a "whatif" anyhoo)

Where did the NEXT generation come from ?

Wouldn't that require what we now call INCEST ?

And

The next genration after that would certainly require at least cousins?

Can't BE tho

- that's all ILLEGAL!!

:silly:

[bif]

15. It's illegal except down south

So the garden of Eden was in the south!

[SoCalDem]

18. and if Eve came from Adam's rib, then he married a part of himself

kind of like biblical "cloning" , if you ask me :)

[av8rdave]

43. That very issue was covered rather humerously in...

Jerome Lawrence and Robert Lee's dramatization of the Scopes trial, Inherit the Wind (great Spencer Tracy movie too, if you can find it).

The defense attorney (Drummond) has the prosecuting attorney (Brady) on the stand as an expert on the Bible:

DRUMMOND: "...and Cain knew his wife." Where the hell did SHE come from?

BRADY: Who?

DRUMMOND: Mrs. Cain. Cain's wife. If, "in the beginning," there were only Adam and Eve, and Cain and Abel, where'd this extra woman spring from? Ever figure that out?

BRADY: No, sir. I will leave the agnostics to hunt for her.

DRUMMOND: Never bothered you?

BRADY: Never bothered me.

DRUMMOND: Never tried to find out?

BRADY: No.

DRUMMOND: Figure somebody pulled off another creation, over in the next county?

BRADY: The Bible satisfies me, it is enough.

DRUMMOND: It frightens me to imagine the state of learning in this world if everyone had your driving curiosity.


Of course, Brady and Drummond were actually William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow in real life, but it's a great dramatization.

16. If you really want to get your head spinning

Consider the fate of brother Cain, sent out of the Garden of Eden after killing Abel, where he settled in the land of Nod. He had a wife who bore him a child, Enoch.

Where did his wife come from?

Easy! She was his sister!

Wrap your head around that for a bit.

[Wickerman]

17. Probably the same guy in the next village over

that was father to the gal Cain married. :eyes: That one always freaked me out, even as a kid.

[Blue_Roses]

3. this is such a tired old

joke...just like Falwell.

[Kamika]

4. That's so lame

Like saying stuff like all french give up etc etc

[buff2]

6. More of the same.........

The tired,old rightwing "morality" police. I wish Larry Flynt would dig up the skeletons in Falwell's closet. It would probably look like a grave yard.....LOL

[AquariDem]

30. It's turned into a game

I'm not even that offended anymore.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

8. He needs to read on in his bible...Ruth was shackin up with another woman

[Deja Q]

9. So? Thing have changed since then.

:eyes:

Adam and Steve can do what they want, especially if they feel toward each other what Adam felt toward Eve of if it's Adam who fancied both Eve and Steve... Just as long as they don't act like Cain...

:D

(Falwell's a prick who lacks one...)

[DS1]

10. It was Pat and Pat

:loveya:

[nedlogg]

11. If God hates homosexuals so much . . .

then why did he make them in the first place?

I hate Brussels sprouts, so I don't plant them in my garden.

Not rocket science, just plain common sense.

[IronLionZion]

13. maybe god hates right-wing lunatics

how would they know who god hates?

[liberalhistorian]

19. Because they think they alone have

a hotline to God, everyone else be damned. As a liberal Christian who's unfortunately been around way too many of these fundie types, I'm well aware of that!

[Goldberg]

14. It was Adam and Eve in the Bible.

But what does that have to do with homosexuals?

[Insider]

20. and it wasn't george and laura either

so what's the point? names schmames, it's all just names... two people is two people, right? ;-)

(i know, i know, they are making some other point that i refuse to recognize)

[AquariDem]

21. The Phelps slogans are even less creative

Just placards with "Fags=Dogs" and "Dykes Wed" in big bold letters. (And why does Phelps keep using the word "dyke" anyway? It's been totally reclaimed.)

[buddhamama]

22. he's clueless. it's Adam and Steven

never Adam and Steve.

[dolo amber]

23. Everyone knows it wasn't Adam and Steve...

Steve was such a slut...Adam liked David.

David. Get it right, people. :eyes:

:D

[Liberal Veteran]

24. Well, it was actually Adam and Eve and a bunch of people who we never....

...were told about. Cain didn't marry his sister, so either God created a bunch more people somewhere or we didn't get the whole story.

[mlawson]

25. The whole proposition is absurd.

Obviously a male and a female would be needed in his creation scenario; otherwise, humans would have died out. But that has NOTHING to say about the homosexuality of a portion of the population.
Now, if some Dem had said that, the pundits would take the remark apart for being illogical. :eyes:

[Bridget Burke]

26. But Lilith was Adam's first wife....

And I'll bet she haunts Falwell's dreams.....

[mlawson]

27. Oh, we couldn't have HER, she was on Cheers...

A SINFUL show, indeed! :-)

[rustydog]

28. Wait till Falwell gets to the Pearly Gates and St. Peter says:

"Sorry Jer...God is a bit upset with you, you see, whomever wrote about Adam and Eve did not hear Him clearly. He did say Adam and Steve."
"As you treat the least among you, you treat me,"do you remember that one Jerry?
Enjoy Hell.

[RoadRunner]

29. Dude, I don't know if it's your post of the wine I'm drinking

but that's damn funny! LOL

[VOX]

38. It's his post -- I'm sober as a judge, and I'm laughing!

:kick:

[LWolf]

31. Did that come from Falwell?

I'm out of all the really important loops, LOL.

I just read this phrase from some local in this morning's paper--a letter to the editor. Not that I didn't already know most of the letter writers could not compose an original thought. But he didn't credit Jerry.

[BiggJawn]

32. Now I'm very confused.

I thought it was Steve and Eydie?

[camero]

33. Somebody ought to tell Falwell

That greed, avarice, and gluttony are against the rules.

[pagerbear]

34. Actually it WAS Adam and Steve

...in Paul Rudnick's version: The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told

There was also a lesbian couple there.

[Rabrrrrrr]

35. Here's another really dumb one: God was a Hebrew, not a Shebrew

But what's funny, is that of course the Hebrew people called themselves Hebrew - that is the Hebrew word for "Hebrew". But the idiots are making it into an English word to get their idiot pun to work, because Hebrew has no word pronounced "Shebrew", so the little joke is pointless and moranic.

Anyway, it makes me angry.

[Kamika]

40. lol, here's a better one

About as smart as when they say "there's a reason both american and republican ends with -ican and not democrat"

[Kat45]

36. That phrase annoys me to no end!

When they were protesting outside the State House in Boston, there were children holding a sign saying that. That ticked me off. Teaching their children well, eh?

[terrya]

41. When you have to resort to this kind of mindless idiocy, you've lost.

Falwell and his American Taliban may win this battle for now, but they WILL ultimately lose.

I hate using words like "war" describing our demand for the same rights as everyone else, but Falwell and his minions framed their hatred of gay people as a war, so....

Society will come around to acceptance of gay people. It will happen. I only wish Falwell will live long enough to see it happen.
