Many of the myths of Lilith also cast her as a redhead. Which makes perfect sense, when you think of it.

Very cool...

I have always been fascinated by Lilith's mention in the Sumerian myths and Old Testaments. In the New Testament, she was removed, but one small section hints at her presence: In Genesis 1:27 (KJV): So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (Emphasis added) The second mention is in Genesis 2:22 (KJV): And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

This perfectly explains why some males (not everyone thinks as Adam did) prefer strong, sexual females who know the top position in sex is immensely pleasurable and take what she wants. Others (like Adam) prefer a female to be on bottom to "receive" sex. Strongly sexual females have been demonized in history and shunned presently. SMMFH.

Cool ! I had heard hints , tiny bits and pieces of this , but had never seen this much of it before . And of course, I'm quite sure there is some lost in translation . but yeah , it makes sense , in it's own way . I had read , that in ancient history , a King of the Byzintine wanted to become an Emperor , and had to be crowned by the Pope to do it , but he had been born and raised as a Pagan . He decided accepting Catholizim in order to become an Emperor , was a small price to pay . Later , he was the person who chose which books went into the Bible . Being a powerful male , he chose which books were to be included based on which ones gave him what he wanted . He was the one who chose the pit or pillar stance . Women were either saints who worshiped and did what they were told , or they were evil , because they weren't subservient .

This is a GREAT post! I know the story and it is a good illustration about so much. Keep this discussion going

Back in the early 70s, when I was in the 6th grade, I had a teacher who gave me a book about Lilith.
She'd overheard me saying something about how messed up the Adam and Eve story was. She'd also overheard me getting a lot of flack from my classmates over my lack of belief in the catholic "party line".

Lilith has always gotten such a bad rap, and that's one reason so many people don't even know about her.

Told y'all, I've been an atheist all my life.

New hero. Thanks for posting!

"But contemporary feminists and religious scholars insist there's more to the story" and it is just a story as it is with all religions.

I 've never heard this story it sounds interesting
