cain and abel.

This story is mostly known for its line of “am I my brother’s keeper?” which is kind of a bad ass line to throw back at “GOD”.

Hey, where’s your bro?

What’s it’s to you GOD, am I supposed to take care of this bastard?

Okay, but the bigger point of this story: these two dudes are making sacrifices to God (problem #1 ) and God looks at Abel’s sacrifice as a better one.

Let’s pause here. How does anyone know that “God” appreciates that sacrifice more? Did God come down and say hey, this sacrifice is bad ass and yours kinda sucks.

Nah… you got Abel talking all kinds of shit to his brother about how awesome his sacrifice is compared to Cain’s. Dude you’re bringing wheat… hahahaha what a loser…. I’m bringing fat from my sheep and it’s way better than your stupid veggies.

Side note: it’s like a keto dude telling the vegan how stupid he is.

So, what’s this story about? Stop bragging to humans about how great you think you are and how much better you think are you with your sacrifices to gods. It gives them a good reason to want to take you down because you sound like an asshole.

Cain kills his bro. And he’s real sad about it. And God says nobody better touch this dude or the vengeance will be 7 times greater. In essence, listen you’re never justified to kill someone but also your brother was an asshole bragging about how much better he thought he was than you and also people please stop killing people altogether.

So, this: don’t think you have this god/mystery/religious stuff figured out. Don't brag about how you do. You don’t and instead of helping the world it only makes it worse.
