Cain did the right thing by killing Abel.
It always amuses me how Cain created civilization. The genesis feels like a bunch of backwards pastoralists seething at civilized peoples at times. God curses Cain to be a "restless wanderer." Cain’s immediate response? He settles down and builds a city called Enoch (named after his son).It’s almost a spite-build. If God says you must wander, you build a wall and stay put. From the perspective of a shepherd wandering the hills, the city is where people go when they’ve lost their connection to the land (and to God).The narrative doubles down on this by attributing all the hallmarks of "high civilization" to Cain’s descendants. If you look at the family tree in Genesis 4, you find:Jabal: The father of those who live in tents and raise livestock (the "good" guys in this worldview).Jubal: The father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes (Culture/Arts).Tubal-Cain: The forger of all tools of bronze and iron (Technology/Warfare).To the semi-nomadic authors, the city wasn't a symbol of progress; it was a fortress built by the fearful and the fallen. Music and metallurgy weren't necessarily gifts they were distractions or dangerous tools created by a lineage that had been alienated from the divine.The vibe of Genesis is often: "Sure, you have plumbing, bronze swords, and catchy tunes, but you only needed those things because you couldn't handle the simple life in the Garden." The city is portrayed as a place of human self-sufficiency rather than divine dependency. This theme peaks at the Tower of Babel, where "civilization" decides to build a skyscraper to reach heaven, and God effectively says, "This is exactly what I was worried about."It really does read like a group of shepherds looking at the massive ziggurats of Mesopotamia and saying,"I bet the guys who built that are miserable."
>>18409959Cain created the pagan civilization, the way of the goyim nations is the way of Cain. That civilization is represented by the statue of Daniel and will end forever when the stone cut from God shatter the kingdom of Iron and Clay.
>>18409963>Cain created the pagan civilizationHe literally created the *first* civilization, while el/yahweh's preferred people were still nomadic goat herders. Cain was being a creator. Like a god.
>>18409963>>18409959Both of these statements are truthnukes
>>18409942God didn't want humanity to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil because then we would find out that he is evil.
>>18409959The irony peaks when you realize that Cain’s lineage is effectively "canceled" by the Flood, and the world resets with Noah (a man of the soil). But humans immediately go right back to their old habits.Later on, they build their own cities and kingdom and suddenly cities aren't as bad anymore. They justify it with: Human-built civilization, when driven by fear, pride, or self-sufficiency, becomes alienating, but it can also be redeemed. As it, cities are OK, so long we are the ones building them.
>>18409964They didn't need a civilization because God's favor was with them.
>>18410002The humans who wanted to create with their own hands instead of taking hand outs from Yahweh are more admirable and inspiring. You wouldn't get it.
>>18409942Cain BODIED Abel, absolutely MOGGED by a big rock user
>>18410005Then build your own body and don't rely on the handout body from the Most High. Forsake your gift of orgasms and laughter and joy.
>>18410002Bullshit storyGod doesn't exist
>>18409959Read nietzche and learn about slave morality
>>18409963>the way of the goyim nations is the way of CainSo the way of Cain gave us the harnessing of electricity, internal combustion engines, flight, antibiotics, nuclear weapons, I could go on and on and on. The way of Cain is clearly superior.
>>18410725Abel was a tranny ?
>>18410715Look what they need to match a fraction of God's blessing upon the rigtheous.
>>18410912Hmm, what are some of these "blessings" you refer to?
>>18411134God gives the righteous everything they need in abundance. He lets the wicked build things and then he takes it away from them and gives it to the rigtheous.
>>18409959It's a retroactive political shitflinging episode against the Canaanites you illiterate retard. Cain = Canaanite, Jabal = Gebal.
>>18409959For the vast majority of people in cities, it was indeed a shit deal. Populations used to flee all the time
>>18409959>literary goat herder religion
>>18409942If you actually read Genesis there’s never any clear cut reason why Cain hates Abel before they each submit their offerings to God. God just doesn’t accept Cain’s offering of fruits because Cain harbors some kind of undefined malice in his heart.
>>18411688Doesn't Judaism assume that all people are inherently evil?
