Adam is the cause of all the world's problems
Adam and all men, what with their violent and greedy tendencies.

It all started when Eve reached out to that fruit... at the behest of Adam, naturally. (don't get a "fruit" fruit mixed up with a homosexual male colloequally known as a "fruit".)

It's gone downhill since.

Women should be in power. And not because they live longer.

3. God did!
God toldeth Adam to avoideth the tree of knowledge, and to eat from it would be a bad thing even though the fruit ofeth the tree provided a lot in return.

Typical greedy pond scum that conservative males are, he skanked and manipulated Eve into doing his dirty work for him.

Eve was framed.

8. at least Eve had an excuse
she was tempted by one who is supposed to be the Grand Deceiver (and of course she didn't have church to warn her about him)

Adam was tempted by a mere human

6. Dunno why Adam had ribs, pork chops are much tastier!
I've never been with a woman, so I've never counted her ribs to compare! Nor do I want a woman, fascinating as it may or may not be.

How that got mixed in with ribs and pork chops, I'll never know...

:D

4. I agree, HypnoToad
We should have women running the show. I don't know why more women aren't in power. Women have got a slight edge population wise. Why more women don't run and why more women don't vote for women, I don't know. I know there has to be plenty of capable women out there.

7. Just as long as the women don't act like conservative males...
I forgot to put that in the disclaimer... but, fortunately, most women don't act like conservative men. Except Ann Coulter, but I'd ask for genetic tests to prove she's a human, let alone a woman...

12. I read this book Ishmael a few years ago
The book basically goes into how domesticated agriculture is at the root of large scale human conflict and that the biblical reference to Adam and the fruit is the description of how we as humans were in a sense 'cursed' because we chose to try to control the bounty of the Earth. Oh, and it's an intelligent gorilla narating the story. Very, very strange and unique book, but kind of thought provoking at the same time.
