As a history
it is the story of the genocide of women

and the male-inspired propaganda to make it acceptable -- to create intolerance for

females, fear of them, and to encourage violence against them.

At one point in my life, I attempted to count all the murders in the Old Testament, but was too overwhelmed for a final number. Some say the number was as high as 6 million women who were murdered so that we would say GOD not GODDESS.

I also think the story of Adam and Eve being turned out of the Garden was just another real estate robbery...sort of like Benton Harbor. The theory being, If this isn't Eden, then it's okay to trash the place, because MAN was given dominion over all the Earth.

It is certainly a story of the world being turned upside down by males --

Rather than spirituality based on NATURE, male-supremacists began a war on nature --

and women/children.

As for the Garden of Eden -- I've always thought that the final message of that overturning

was and is still Eve standing holding the APPLE. Imo, it was the beginning of bloodletting

-- a war on animal-life by males -- with animals being closely connected to females.

But agree that this is also the beginning of exploitation of NATURE --

"Manifest Destiny" and "Man's Dominion Over Nature" being the licenses for the few to exploit

nature, natural resources, animal-life and even other human beings -- according to various

myths of "inferiority" -- !!
