Everyone makes incest jokes about Adam and Eve and their children but they never mention that there was another woman named Lilith (Adam's first wife) who would have added variance to the gene pool.

Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden

All Hail Lilith, The sacred mother of Feminism

She became the first demon. The first example of the Bible literally demonizing women.
Sort of but not really. Lilith isn't in the biblical version of Adam and Eve. There might be one mention of Lilith in and unrelated story in Isaiah, or it might be an old Hebrew word for screech owl.
The connection to Adam comes from folktales and fanfics written 1,000 years later. In terms of biblical tradition, she's closer to Steve than Adam.
The Bible does a fine job of demonizing women, starting with Eve. But Christians don't need a scriptural reason to demonize something they can't control.
1000 years after what? Adam?
Good point, I meant 1000 years after the ecumenical councils established what books would be included in the Bible.
But you're right, Genesis and Isaiah are old testament, much older than the Bible.
We need the Book of Rejects. All the books and stories that were considered but not included
I think they meant 1000s of years after the original texts where written.
Steve ? You mean from Minecraft?
That's the reason my wife and I named our daughter Lilith.
She's not taking anyone's shit.
