NO!, the serpent did not
Seduce Eve to the apple.
All that's simply
Corruption of the facts.

Adam ate the apple.
Eve ate Adam.
The serpent ate Eve.
This is the dark intestine.

The serpent, meanwhile,
Sleeps his meal off in Paradise--
Smiling ........to hear

God's querulous calling.

GENESIS
Ina Kontvainyte-Thomas

When I was Eve a hundred million years ago
You laughed
That same laugh,
Tolerant, and amused, delighted I was Woman
Pleased at my frailties, yet confused by each,
You bit into a peach and smiled
That same smile. Grey eyes caressing
The primeval world, and me.
Oh, I was jubilant to be alive that newborn day!
Still...I remember
One faint darkening cloud
On the horizon
That first afternoon.

only one side of the case. God has written all the books"

"It is so stupid of modern civilization to have given up believing in the devil -- when he is the only explanation of it."
~Ronald Knox~
(Did the devil really create the world when God wasn't looking?)
~Dr. Lawrence J. Peter
