Cain and Abel                                       11/26/00 
------------------------------------------------------------ 
(Genesis 4:3 - 4:5): While Cain was sweating and working his 
     ass out in the fields, Abel was raising sheep, cows, and 
     such.  During a time of offering to YWHW, Cain brought 
     some of the fruit he worked months on growing, weeding, 
     and harvesting.  Abel killed some animals and burnt 
     the fat as his offering.  YHWH, being the loving deity 
     He is, preferred the slaughter and burning of His 
     beloved animals to the products of a man's hard work. 
     Naturally, Cain was pissed. 

(Genesis 4:6 - 4:8): YHWH, being totally insensitive to 
     Cain's months of work and forgetting how awe-inspiring 
     the rebuttal by a god can be, began to chew Cain's ass 
     off. Equating the murder of helpless animals with 
     goodness and equating sacrifices of hard labor as 
     sinful, YHWH told Cain he should master sin. 

So Cain, filled with the instruction and love of the Lord, 
killed his brother. 

Strangely enough, the all-seeing, all-knowing YHWH was 
conspiciously absent during the murder.  YHWH, a.k.a. God, 
has yet to come in for questioning.
