This is not biblically accurate. She should be naked, since she doesn’t yet have knowledge of good and evil, and god considers nudity evil, because he is a prude. But also he didn’t clothe Adam and Eve, cause he’s a perv.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 months ago

My quip with the artistic choice is that they made Eve have very very long hair which could have served as breast cover. But they chose to add the inaccurate leaves...

[–] slazer2au 33 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Also bellybutton shouldn't exist on Adam and Eve.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

How do you think god counted them? Poke a finger in the belly.

It's actually just for support, they're pretty heavy

And the bible never says the fruit was an apple

[–] BugleFingers 19 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Given the era, I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually a fig

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's the garden of eden so there's no reason to believe that it's a fruit we have. My head canon is that it was a giant, fruit shaped flaming hot Cheeto

[–] BugleFingers 6 points 2 months ago

So it was a FIG-ticious fruit?

The comic is obviously of a theatre reproduction of the event.

[–] stupidcasey 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

To be fair they also didn’t have genitals since they can’t Fuck, so maybe they literally have nothing to be ashamed of.

Unrelated but they also shouldn’t have belly buttons because they weren’t born.

[–] scrion 26 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I don't think that interpretation, i. e. the absent genitals, is canon.

[–] GreenKnight23 13 points 2 months ago

so NOW we're drawing the line?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

...then how do they have children? where did Cain and Abel come from?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

...and where did all the people that came after Cain and Abel come from? Who was their mother?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Cain and Able weren't Adam and Eves only children. Keep in mind that canonically, Adam lived for over 900 years. That's a lot of time you can use to make more babies.

After the whole regicide incident, they also had Seth. Both him and his exiled brother ended up marrying their sisters. Their descendants did the same. So yeah, it's all incest, top to bottom.

The biblical flood was actually created to wipe out the descendants of Cain, since Noah and his cousins wife were both descendants of Seth

No genitals? Where did Eve’s children came from? She shat them?

Bottomless but not topless? Eden was a wild place!

[–] MeatPilot 37 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Just like Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood

This implies that the garden of Eden was in the US as they're the only ones that know what pumpkin spice even is.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Her wearing a bra even before having a bite suggests that too.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

was going to say, she was supposed to be naked.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Maybe 10 years ago but nowadays it's internationally much more ubiquitous

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago
[–] AnUnusualRelic 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't think many places share this seasonal pumpkin obsession.

The "apple" was a persimmon?

[–] dragontamer 36 points 2 months ago (7 children)

Actually, the Bible just says it's the fruit of a tree.

It could have been an orange, pomegranate, or banana.

A nut, bit right through the shell

[–] Chainweasel 5 points 2 months ago

Weed, they got baked and leaned the knowledge of good and evil.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Pomegranates are one of the oldest cultivated fruits, so they're somewhat plausible, but I'm fairly certain humans made oranges (and most other citruses, through selection and grafting... though I guess it could have been a mandarin, pomelo, or citron, which seem to be the three we started with) and bananas (through selection and cloning), so it couldn't have been those.

Apples, on the other hand, seem to have existed long before humans, so they're definitely a possibility.

It was probably some kind of nut, though.

[–] Whelks_chance 4 points 2 months ago

I've been wondering about this for a while, and I've come to the conclusion that blackberries are probably the original thing. Brambles grow like weeds all over Europe, I don't think anyone is cultivating them to be different. Apples definitely have had a human hand in selecting the best apples to start fresh orchards with.

I'm open to correction though.

"apple" used to just mean "fruit"

[–] finitebanjo 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Technically, they were naked before trying the fruit and wore leaves upon receiving the carnal knowledge and realizing that they were naked. Before that, they had no concept of covering themselves.

[–] Tyfud 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Correct, but due to American issues with nudity, this is always covered up with branches regardless.

[–] finitebanjo 4 points 2 months ago

You could just make their head hair cover their nipples and have them walk behind waist high sight barriers like grass or shrubbery. Just spitt-balling here.

[–] NatakuNox 6 points 2 months ago

Isn't it strange that the first chronological story of Christianity end with, "Women are the reason everything sucks." and yet some women are devout religious. Smh indoctrinated and brainwashed.
