Forget Lucifer. Bypass the whole Judeo-Christian wine industry and get a trade agreement with Dionysus. He has better quality for lower prices, and he encourages drinking for good (not evil like Satan.)

Well, if you read a lot of the mythology, i has moral overtones.
Oedipus was punished for "sleeping with his mother". Or more apporpriately he punished himself. Greek mythology shows intelligence.
In Chirstian mythology, people dance around golden calfs....is that no perverted form your perspective....I assume it is. But the poeple are punished.
To Quote George Carlin:
What is all this shit about Angels? Have you heard this? Three out of four people now, believe in Angels. What're you, ****in' stupid? Has everybody lost their ****in' minds in this country? Angels, shit. You know what I think it is? I think it's a massive collective psychotic chemical flashback of all the drugs. All the drugs, smoked, swallowed, snorted, shot, and absorbed rectally by all Americans from 1960 to 1990. Thirty years of adulterated street drugs'll get you some ****in' Angels, my friend.

I always felt bad for Oedipus... poor fellow. Imagine finding out that you had married your mother.... Ouch.
I always look at things from a perspective more in line with reality. So Angels coudl easily be anything, creatures that exist with natural camoflauge ability, or perhaps just part of a race that uses cloaking technology. *shrug*
No, cloaking isn't impossible, thermoptic camoflauge has been created and used before (Not in the 'field'😉.

Adam and Eve has two sons who supposedly had to breed with thier sisters or mother to spawn the rest of humanity. Sounds perverted to me. 😉
The first men and women (definitely plural) were created in Genesis 1:27. I believe was among these first humans and was specifically chosen by God for the Garden of Eden and as the forefather of the Jewish people.
The "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone" argument is horribly used by non-Christians to justify their actions. The meaning of it is not that we should not correct people, but that we must first look at ourselves and see our own imperfections so that we can have grace and mercy towards others. Remember that although Jesus did not stone the women he told her "Go and sin no more." God desires us to change people instead of simply condemning them. But, sometimes actions justify response.
