So, um, why DID God create women?
I read an interesting take on that question a while ago. I think it's some kabbalah idea.
According to that idea God did not "create the woman" when he put Adam to sleep to cut out his rib, but rather seperated both sexes/ genders through that divine surgery. So Adam was originally not a male, but a "both-genders" creation, a hermaphrodite or androgynic being. S/he included all of humankind, male and female, in one being: Adam. Only after God sedated him/her and extracted the female aspect, contained in a rib, from him and created a seperate being as an opposite, partner and helper, only then Adam became an actual male.
So if you think of it that way the question why woman was made is just an invalid question. She was made when man was made, they started being united in one, but they were seperated when God decreed that the human shouldn't be a single, but a gender dimorphic being so Adam wouldn't be alone.
I'm not promoting that idea as biblical doctrine. But I like that idea because it rebuts the thought that humankind is somehow "male by default", and females were only an addition or a special form. The "male by default" concept is one of the reasons sexism persists, and thus I personally like that teaching about Adam being both female and male at first, because that way female is just as "default" as male is.
So Adam was originally not a male, but a "both-genders" creation, a hermaphrodite or androgynic being.
That was a good one, and very interesting. Learn something new everyday.
OK here's another...
What is the next letter in the sequence?
S, O, N, D, J, F, M, A, M
Decipher this code:
YY UR, YY UB, I C UR, YY 4 Me! (What does it mean?)
the number 288
Why is it bad manners to say the number 288 in front of others?
say the number 288 in front of others
say the number 288 in front of others
The clue is in the phrase "in front of others," and "others" is assumed to mean other people, but it could also mean, "in front of other numbers," and if that is the case, it would be bad manners to say that two ate eight in front of other numbers.
You mean, hearing that their buddy Eight was devoured by their other buddy Two would shock and traumatize the other numbers, and thus it's bad manners?
