Eve's
Conversation with God
"Lord,
I have a problem."
"What's
the problem, Eve?"
"I
know that you created me and provided this beautiful garden
and all of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious
comedic snake, but I'm just not happy."
"And
why is that Eve?"
"Lord,
I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples."
"Well,
Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man
for you."
"Man?
What is that Lord?"
"A
flawed creature, with many bad traits. He will lie, cheat,
and be vain; overall, he will give you a hard time. However,
he will be bigger, faster and will like to hunt and kill things.
I will create him in such a way that he will satisfy your
physical needs. He will be witless and will revel in childish
things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be
as smart as you, so he will also need your advice to think
properly."
"Sounds
great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows, "but
what's the catch Lord?"
"Well...you
can have him on one condition."
"And
what's that Lord?"
"As
I said, he'll be proud, arrogant and self-admiring...so you'll
have to let him believe that I made him first. And it will
have to be our little secret...you know, woman to woman."
