From an Article in the Global Village
'God, I have a problem.''What's your problem Eve?'
'I know you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all these wonderful animals as well as that hilarious snake, but I'm just not happy, '
'And why is that Eve?'
'God, I am lonely and bored and I'm sick to death of apples.'
'Well Eve, in that case I shall create a man for you'
'Man? What is that, God?'
'A flawed base creature with many bad traits. he'll lie, cheat and be vain. He will revel in childish things. he'll be bigger than you and will like fighting, hunting and killing things. He won't be too smart so will need your advice to think properly. He will have a limited emotional capacity so will need to be trained. He will look silly when aroused, but since You've been complaining of boredom, I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your physical needs and you need never be bored again.'
'Sounds great', said Eve but what's the catch, God'
'Well, you can have him on one condition.'
'And what's that, God?'
'As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant and self-admiring, so you'll have to let him believe I made him first. And it will have to be our little secret.
