Ladies, God gives you a monthly reminder of the need for penance from you. You have condemned humanity to death by way of your intrinsic sinful nature. Thank goodness God manifested in the form of a man, Jesus Christ to offer us redemption for Eve's transgressions.
The women of The Compound voluntarily retire to the menstruation quarters during menses for a time of reflection and atonement. Bless them for doing the right thing.
Ephesians 2:5
"made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved."

I daresay this means that the great apes, who menstruate, and the many placental mammals who experience estral bleeding, are also all being punished...for having vulvas, which tempt you unbearably to stick your dick in them.

Then why do women still have periods?
And if you think only "saved" women are redeemed of the original sin, why do they still hve periods and birth pains?
...or it could just be female biology. It's a shame you people are so afraid of it. It has to suck going through life thinking that being born female is a burden.
I choose to celebrate my womanhood. I can't help but be sad for those of you who mourn your own.

"I can't shake the idea that Disciples of the New Dawn were bad guys in a computer game I played."
Now that you mention it, that does ring a faint bell. An old pre-FPS game from waaaaaay back just after that big meteorite wiped out the dinosaurs (i.e. early 90'ies)?

@NeoFaust and Lauge : Maybe you are thinking of the Church of the New Dawn from Ground Control 1, a Real Time Tactics game from the mid-nineties? I haven't played the game myself, but apparently, the CotND had enough resources to challenge an interstellar megacorporation to a game of Global Domination and potentially win.
edit: @SHODAN : Or a Tzeentchian cult, yes. Let's hope that these guys are a little less infectious.
By Traditional patriarchal definitions of society, Adam failed, not Eve. Eve was conned (And probably didn't know better cause womyn) but Adam should have either killed the serpent before he met Eve or when he met it later.
If we assume though that society is equal and Eve is culpable for her actions, Adam is equally culpable of not saying "How about no." She was conned, and just decided 'hey this is cool, I'll get someone else to try like my dudeguyfriend.'
Honestly though considering The Tree of Knowledge gave them knowledge of good and evil, and allowed society to advance, maybe the Serpent was a good guy all along. Living in the trees naked like hippies might be pleasant, but boring as hell.
@SHODAN
I would think a tzeentch cult would involve more tentacles in the name.
@ Dan Onymous I agree, I immediately thought of a low-budget Alastair Crowley-esque group. Shaved heads, cheap satin robes, blue lipstick, conducting vague rites in an abandoned 19th century water tower.
Yeah, because it was totally the chicks fault. Even though Eve would have had no idea of right and wrong and likely had very few critical thinking skills since she didn't need them to survive.
Shame on your whole religion putting this on her. A 'snake' (Actual snake, Satan or Lilith depending on what Christian era you ask) told her she could.
That's akin to putting a small child with Downs Syndrom in a room with a cookie and telling them they can't eat it till you come back. Then sending in another adult that tells them it's okay to eat the cookie and they don't stop until the kid eats the cookie. And then.. when you do get back, because you'd been waiting outside knowing the other adult was in there because you *wanted* the kid to eat the cookie, you yell and beat the child for eating the cookie. And then when she grows up, if she has kids, you yell at them and beat them too.
You sick bastards.
Disciples of the New Dawn...? Sounds like Mehrunes Dagon worshippers to me. Everybody stay back! I've dealt with their kind before.
Also, I don't think that's how periods work.
What dost thou just exclaim to thyself, you meager wench? I'll have thou know I graduated valedictorian at Cambridge University, and thy hath partaken in numerous invasions of France, and thyself have over 300 recorded slayings. Thyself hath been trained in chivalrous warfare and thyself am the top Longbowman in the entire King of England's army. Thou art not a thing but target to thyself. Thy will conquer thou with accuracy the likes of which hath never been witnessed before upon this fair isle, dwell upon my oration. Thou think thou can get away with proclaiming such filth to thyself via His Majesty's letter deliverance service? Repeat your thoughts, copulator. As we engage in conversation thyself art summoning thy clandestine company of shadowy individuals across His Majesty's kingdom and thou fortress doth be traced this day so thou best prepare for the ruckus, peasant. The ruckus that decimates the pathetic meager object thou proclaim thou vitae. Thou be mortem, child. Thy can roam any county, any sunrise to sunset, and thy can take thou life in above 700 technques, and that's using naught but thy own gauntlets. Not exclusively is thy extensively trained in duelling without a blade, but thy pertain access to the entire arsenal of the His Majesty's Royal Cavalry and thy will use it to its complete usefulness to wipe thou forlorn buttocks off the face of the kingdom, thou meager dropping. If only thou could hath foreseen the divine retribution thou meager "quick-witted" exclamation would in due time bringeth upon thou, perhaps thou would hath halted thou tongue. Thou could not, thou did not, and thou art paying the blasted bounty, thou God forsaken imbicile. Thy shall excrete fury upon thou and thou will suffocate on said fury. Thou be vanquished, child.
He is right, well at least his religion thinks he's right.
I do not understand how any women could be in one of the major monotheistic religions. Their religions obviously states these things like women are the cause of all sin (Eve eating the fruit)
Luckily that is all trivial bullshit anyway.
@#1732825:
"Thy" means "your," not "I."
At least have a basic grasp of Elizabethan English before you try to use it.
FFS, you're not even good at being a troll. >.<
Gah, More original sin style bullshit.
Quit trying to shame people for being born a certain race/gender/orientation, Dumbasses.
@Professor von SCIENCE!!! @BlackMageJ @Izzet Scientist
And yet another Elder Scrolls refrence waiting to be made here
Adam transgressed too, if memory serves. Eve needed the Devil himself (the Father of Lies) to convince her. It took a "mere woman" to convince Adam.
So, will you pay our salary during the time we're supposed to "retire to the menstruation quarters"? I bet that when we were hunter-gatherers, and began to move into agriculture, that it could be a welcome respite to "retire" for a couple of days per month.
"menstruation"
Do you like Eggs, Dissie? Fried/Boiled/Poached/Scrambled; in an Omelette...?
Just throwing that one out there...!
Oh, and for Ray Cumfart: the Banana isn't a fruit. It's an edible ovary .
@JW
And Dissie here has got such a surprise in store for him, in later life: Kidney Stones.
Hurting when one urinates. Traces of blood in one's urine. Stomach cramps like you can't even imagine until one experiences them. For a time, reduced to a state - almost as bad as Gastric Flu - where you're weak as a kitten; can't hold anything down, not even water. To say nothing of the unimaginable pain of passing the thing. [/Candiru]
According to this clown, Eve apparently ate the fruit alone.
ADAM: "Uh, hello? Uh...I'm here...uh...."
Here's a video about this New Dawn thing.....

Now, some are saying it's a satire/hoax/troll job whereas others say it's serious.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
