It'll never stop being funny to me that Adam and Eve were in paradise where there was no such thing as shame yet they still wore big leaves on their privates because.... Reasons.
That is, of course, funny only if these bronze age fairy tales were true to begin with, it's all badly written fiction and I would be so happy of people just could get over themselves and stop believing in shit that 5 year olds already know to be false.
As I recall, they were actually naked and didn't feel the need to cover themselves until after eating from the "tree of knowledge of good and evil".
Thanks to that stupid fucking story and all the others, many cultures heavily influenced by Christian mythology feel the need to add those leaves because they can't handle nudity.
This.
But also https://teachdiary.com/where-fig-leaves-first-came-into-fashion/
I also just noticed the irony in covering their nakedness being a part of "original sin" but churches today lead the puritanical positions against general nudity and sexuality.
Also funny in that bad fiction way that it was about disobeying some arbitrary rule and it's never explained or even really acknowledged that humans shouldn't have knowledge. Like it's such an obvious form of control, right in the first story, not to mention how many of the ten commandments were about establishing a hierarchy rather than any kind of morality.
Like it's accepted history that Constantine was looking for a way to unite the far corners of Rome, since it was hard to motivate people to join legions to fight for people half a world away after they ran out of easy land to promise. So he just happened to find the "true religion" that he needed, that had a bible that was taken literally until it was so obviously incompatible with reality that it was now metaphors that could still describe reality if you back up and squint and assume dumb shit like "many cultures talk about floods, therefore they must be talking about noah's flood!"
Which is kinda like saying, "Wait, people in your culture die, too? That's proof that we were all kicked out of paradise and lost our immortality!"
Also ignoring how the old testament god acts more like an immature dictator throwing tantrums than a god, yet there's plenty of stories of people defying that god despite these apparent displays of miraculous power.
I mean, they pretty clearly did not wear anything or have shame until they sinned. Then they were ashamed of their nakedness and tried to cover themselves with leaves. When God came to them he killed an animal and clothed them with animal skin.
They also did not have ChatGTP back then either.
Big, if true.
Grok, is this real?
(I hate myself now)
But how did they think back then? How did they know which fruit to eat?
Mick Huckabee is very cross with you.
