A serpent in a garden has been a common theme of world religions. Most see the serpent as a god offering wisdom to mortals.

Genesis begins the contemporary Old Testament but was written after the Torah was composed as seen in its use of many laws from Leviticus and Deuteronomy, citations from older biblical texts as well as massive plagiarisms from the theologies of ancient Egypt, India, Akkadia, and throughout Mesopotamia.

Much of it has come out of a myth that is popular among Jews and Christians: Genesis 9:20-27 which is plagiarized from a far older Egyptian text based on the theology centered around the God Osiris, coupled with ancient Greek tales.Read More
While evangelical Christians claim that the Trinity is distinctly Christian and based on the bible, there is no passage in either Old or New Testament to support the claim. This essay looks at the development of the concept of a Trinity, immortality, and resurrection.Read More
Biblical literalists argue that women are the "weaker sex" and must be controlled and dominated by men. While there is little evidence for such a claim in the Christian bible, it is used to subordinate women and make them second class citizens.Read More
