No the USA one sucks the SA one is far better as it is only 16 years old and still going strong and btw LGBT and atheists here have equal rights. Something the USA can aspire to IMO.

One would hope so. But it seems like too much to ask.

Having men go through the birthing process sure would have taken care of the over-population problem.

I heard when I was very young that if the man had to give birth to every other one families would have been noticeably smaller.

Do you think the punishment fits the crime for what she did? Does it show a lot of mercy and compassion, just because she and her mate ate a piece of fruit they weren't supposed to and gained some new insights?

Ive always wondered why the bible pits man against woman right from the get-go....amazing...eve takes a bite, and the poor, poor gullible adam is conned into taking one too........rediculous......especially when eve had the guts and the ambition to want to know more (wasnt it the tree of knowledge).Its like the bible doesnt want man and woman to get along...

Eve didn't force Adam to take a bite in the story. He did it of his own free will, which is frowned upon by dogmatic religions. But to set the tone of the basically misogynistic Judeo-Christian viewpoint, she got most of the blame for it. After all, the religions are man-made.

You do realize, don't you, that you are dealing with Mythology - NOT fact.

Yah, god should have spent more time programming free will. It seems he created a decsion making module capable of making bad decisions, AND he knew it ahead of time. Pretty damnable if you ask me.
