We were using them in school. I caused an uproar by bringing in the originals.

Adam and Eve created two boys!
When did the incest start? To create human #5?

I guess Cain and Abel were Mama's boys.

Yes, I said it.

she had to do what she had to do

pedophile. Seems like there’s enough track record among extreme right winger evangelicals to make that correlation.

Or hiding ?

Hard to imagine two virgin girls so worried about the family lineage that they scheme to get their father drunk and seduce him together. Much easier to imagine that it was probably his idea.

Pulling books from the libraries that help troubled kids feel that they're not alone, that help them cope with a society that excludes them, will only lead to more suicides. The suicide rate among teenagers has already been on the rise.

The "about Wheaton" section of their website is rather interesting. Throughout, it is made abundantly clear that everything about the school is done to glorify Jesus.

The second section of their menu page contains, among other things, this statement:

WE BELIEVE that God directly created Adam and Eve, the historical parents of the entire human race; and that they were created in His own image, distinct from all other living creatures, and in a state of original righteousness. (Emphasis mine)

Wheaton has a pretty extensive biology/health sciences major. I would love to sit in on one of their biology classes and ask the professor to explain how Adam and Eve gave rise to the whole human race without committing incest. If they had a daughter, either Adam or one of the sons would have had to impregnate that daughter in order for her to give birth to more humans. If no daughters, Eve would have been the only human with a uterus.

It would be damn interesting to listen to whatever "pretzel-y" explanation would be offered.

Wheaton is in the same athletic conference as the college both our sons attended, and were their most despised rival. Our sons played soccer. The Wheaton players used to piss me off by embellishing on the field, trying to draw fouls for minimal contact - drop to the pitch and roll around as if in agony. One time, I shouted, "Are you guys all drama majors?" It seems to me that faking the degree of contact rather flies in the face of the "Thou shalt not bear false witness" commandment.

Hypocrisy, thy name is evangelicalism.
