Let us suppose, for a moment, that we are at the Day of Judgment, listening to the trial of souls as they arrive.

-Where are you from ?
-I am from the Earth.
-What kind of a man are you?
-Well, I don't like to talk about myself. I suppose you can tell by looking at your book of records.
-No, you must tell what kind of a man you were.
-Well, I was what you might cal a first-rate fellow. I loved my wife and my family members in general. My home was my heaven. my fireside was a paradise to me. To sit there and see the lights and shadows fall upon the faces of those I loved, was to me a perfect joy.
-How did you treat your family ?
-I never said an unkind word. I never caused my wife, nor in member of my family, a moment's pain.
-Did you pay your debts ?
-I did not owe a dollar when I died, and left enough to my funeral expenses, and donated a lot to the neediest.
-Did you belong to any church ?
-used to, but not anymore, they had too many narrow minded members. Just because once I said a kind word about Moslem and Jews, they made rumors that I have been paid by them, handsomely. So I stopped for good attending......
-Just say, yes or no.
-No I didn't
-Did you believe in eternal punishment ?
-Well, no. I always thought that God could get his revenge in far less time.
-Did you believe the rib story ?
-Do you mean the Adam and Eve business ?
-Yes ! Did you believe that ?
-To tell you the God's truth.....I mean your truth sir, that was just a little more than I could swallow.
-Away with him to hell !

NEXT

-Where are you from?
-I am from the world, too.
--Did you belong to any Church ?
-Yes, sir, to all kind of them. I mean the Assyrians have many Churches, with different philosophies, rules and attitudes. They go to them as they are pleased, I mean it depends how the priest would praise or treat them, and of course money is the object.
-What was your job or business ?
-Manger in a Saving Bank.
-Did you ever run away with any money ?
-Sir I am not from that part of the world, I mean where I came from, a witness could not be compelled to criminate himself.
-The law is different here. Answer the question. Did you run away with any money ?
-Yes, sir.
-How much ?
-One million Dollars.
-Did you make any donations to the church ?
-Yes sir. %10 of it.
-Did you take anything else with you ?
-Yes. sir.
-Well, what else ?
-I took my neighbor's wife-we sang together in the choir.
-Did you have a wife and children of your own ?
-yes, sir,
-Did she have of her own too.
-Yes, sir,
-And you both deserted them ?
-Yes, sir, but such was our confidence in God that we believed he would takes care of them.
-Did you believe in the rib story ?
-Bless your soul, of course I did. A thousand times I regretted that there were no harder stories in the Bible, so that I could have shown my wealth of faith.
-Do you believe the rib story or not ?
-Yes, with all my heart.
-Give him a harp !

Well, as has been said and written, Biblical God made a woman from Adam's rib. Of course, I do not know exactly how this was done, but when he or she got the woman finished, presented her to Adam. He liked her, and they commenced house-keeping in the celebrated Garden of Eden.
Must we, in order to be good, gentle and loving in our lives, believe that the creation of woman was a second thought ? That the Biblical God really endeavored to induce Adam to take one of the lower animals as an helpmeet for him ? After all, is it not possible to live honest and courageous lives without believing these fables ? It is said that from Mount Sinai Biblical God gave, amid thunderings and lightning, and ten commandments for the guidance of mankind ; and yet among them is not found-"Thou shalt believe the Bible."
