Fallen Rib

Lemniscate Blue posted:

In some versions of the old story, Eve was Adam's third wife. Originally the first man and first woman were two parts of the same whole being, joined back-to-back with two faces, four arms, four legs. This was not great for conversation and companionship among other things, so they were then divided into two individuals - Adam and Lilith, male and female.*

Lilith, created as an equal part of humanity, refused to be subservient to Adam in all sorts of ways but it's specified that she particularly didn't like banging in the missionary position all the time - she wanted to ride cowgirl, which Adam refused to do because he wanted to be The Man. So she called him a whiny manchild and bailed on the Garden, going out into the wilderness and becoming a figure of legend, demonized by subsequent mythology.

Adam started blubbering to God about being lonely, so God sent three angels to bring Lilith back (which didn't work, because she just laughed in their faces). Next God pulled a rib from Adam's chest and formed it into a second wife with bones, blood, organs, skin, hair, etc. This was apparently a pretty disgusting process because it totally grossed Adam out and he couldn't look at her without remembering what he'd seen and gagging. That was a total boner-killer and he refused to go near her. It's not mentioned what happened to her. She's never named, and it's possible she was returned to dust (seems harsh) or allowed, like Lilith, to go out into the world out of Eden.

God rolled His eyes and tried the rib thing again, but this time putting Adam to sleep so he wouldn't see the sausage get made. This worked, and since Adam was made first and Eve made from him she was willing to go along with his fragile masculinity nonsense and they were happy. The rest of the story proceeds as written.


* this is first recorded from about the 8th century and is probably some kind of alchemical allegory - alchemy was super mystical and some branches were way into the idea of achieving perfection by rejoining the male and female halves of humanity into one perfect ascended being.

Oh man I loved that issue of Sandman too.

I always took that in a more figurative sense. God is the Creator and because we are made in his image we are creators as well.

Hence, I find Chimps heretical.

If man was made in god's image, does god have a butthole? What does he use it for?

I'm kind of curious how a christian would answer this, but it's a bit too rude for me to ever ask one.

The abstract doesn't do a great job of defining the term (because that's not actually the point of it, it's not speaking to an audience that needs that off the bat), but I'm guessing it's about essentially 'culturally Islamic' people who are generally raised in that context and carry a lot of the more social customs but aren't practicing Muslims?

If that's it, it makes complete sense. There's plenty of people who are like that with Christianity, of course people are like that with other faiths that are that pervasive in other parts of the world.

Not exactly, it's about studying non-Muslim conceptions of Islam, and then how those conceptions go on to influence Muslims. E.g. how prejudice in European societies can lead to Muslim children of immigrants becoming more devout than their parents.

God has a butthole but He only shits when He chooses to and and they're always those really satisfying shits, the ones where you feel really emptied out and clean after.

Number three is extra wild, because a jealous dumbass could easily use it both ways: "She turns her phone off around me? Oh, so who is gonna call/text that she's worried I might see? OTHER GUYS?!" vs "She keeps her phone on around me? Oh, so who else is she trying to keep in contact with instead of devoting all her attention to me? OTHER GUYS?!" :tinfoil:

"If she lives alone"? What the gently caress?

OK, I mean yes this is true, but there's a far better and more natural term for this phenomenon: "outsider conceptions of Islam". Because from what I vaguely remember, there's no such thing as non-Muslim Islam because that's like claiming there's non-Christian Christianity.

Yeah, it's a very academic thing where the author clearly thinks they're being incredibly smart and efficient with their terminology while clearly having not talked to any real person about it at all.

It depends on how masculine the drink is considered by this weirdo. If it's something they'd be embarrassed to order, you're probably in the clear.

Each criterion doubles the number of condoms, so if she qualifies under all of them, you need a mass of condoms approximately equivalent to one of the larger asteroids.
