Adam was not appalled,
When he experienced the fall;
For he found Eve more enthralling,
When the leaves were falling.

I wouldn't have to internalize,
All of this crap.

Adam 'ad no sense at all
Didn't know 'e'd cause the Fall
If 'e 'ad a bite o' wot
'E could see tha' Eve 'ad got
'E should just 'ave turned away
Said to Eve: 'Call it a day'
But 'e went ahead an' scoffed
Then the 'uman race was loft

Good morning, Count Sneaky.

Once upon a time a good friend and I co-taught a class on Genesis. Because Eve was deceived but Adam wasn't, the question was raised, "Why did he follow her into sin?" Hardegree might have it right. We surmised that he loved her so much he didn't want to live without her.

Re: Science Fiction, Dick's quite good. I read his stuff many years ago. If memory serves the first was "The Stainless Steel Rat". As I read more into the whole genre I discovered a love of fantasy that hardcore SciFi lacks, although not if you read Tolkien, Lewis, and the like. Nice to know your grandkids are into that sort of thing. It kept me reading far better than the biographies and mysteries written for young folk back then.

Always delighted when you come calling, my lord.
