As a matter of fact, makeup and jewelry are attributed to the fallen angel Azazel according to the Ethiopian book of Enoch, and according to the Zohar, Azazel was in fact the serpent that tempted Eve, so As Solomon would say "Nothing new under the sun" Thanks for the comment though!

I don't care what religion you religulize. Jewelry was not invented before clothes, and a major plotpoint in the Genesis story is that clothes were invented after this thing happened.


Wait. . . why do the Ethiopians have their own Book of Enoch? Can't they just use the normal one?

Consequentially, why do so many angels and demons and whatnot have goofy names like "Azazel" or "Cimejes" or "Mammon"? Actually, come to think of it "Yahweh" and "Satan" are both pretty goofy names. Hmmm. . .

I'm sorry, I'm starting to ramble aren't I? I do that sometimes.

Indeed. Apples don't grow naturally in the middle-east. Also, apples were tiny sour things fit for nothing other than cider making until bred to be eatable at a much later point in history.

It's not the science behind it, but rather modern-day Christians are illiterate when it comes to the bible and it's points. Eve never ate an apple, or any other forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. The Garden was Eve's virginity, the forbidden fruit was sex, and Eve broke that rule by having sex with Lucifer when he was cast out of Heaven. God was going to let them have sex but at the right time. The "tree of knowledge" is an analogy. Once Eve had sex with Lucifer, she did it again with Adam upon returning to him. Once they did, they realized they were naked. In a way, they gained the knowing of their nudity among other things.

Of course, I'm not a full-blown believer, not even close. I am a scholar in different religions and I'm actually agnostic myself. I see both sides, but I see both negatives as well as many contradictions. I just wanted to make a point.

Ah yes, burning books that the feel would make people ask question about religion and god. Can always count on them for the truth.
