Cain was the Martyr of Humankind.
 
The brother of Abel, Cain, slaughtered animals in the name of God.

Abel, the brother of Cain, the second Son of God, tended the crops in the name of God.

Cain bloodied his hands, stained them with the sin of taking life in cold blood in the name of God. Abel tended the pure Earth with his unstained hands, caring for nature and nurturing it in the name of God.

Abel accepted the lesser of the burdens. Cain accepted the burden that would forever condemn him-- God's insatiable bloodlust. Cain, since the beginning of his time, has always been the one who speaks for humankind's freedom; how could you not realize? Cain defended his brothers, humans who would be born and born again for time infinite, by accepting the task of damning his very being to eternal pain.

And we, ingrateful as we are, look at him as who committed the 'first murder?' God would not dare ask sacrifice for anything righteous, god wished for blood, and blood was given; only when it was Abel's blood, did he ever turn an eye. Those outside of God's immediate 'kingdom' are condemned to be mere tools to his appeasement? Foolishness!

God is a damnable savior; Cain is the true salvation of mankind, the true voice of man, the true image of goodness! A man who would sacrifice all for his fellow brothers and sisters, a man who would accept the burden of 'evil' simply that those after him might not!

How can we condemn Cain? How can we call him 'murderer?'

How dare you presume to judge God Almighty? :huh:

Let me get this straight. You take a story from Genesis to extrapolate your God hating rant?


1 John 3:12 directly contradicts what you posted.
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Re: Cain was the Martyr of Humankind.
 
Are you retarded or something? The Bible says the opposite -- that Abel offered animal sacrifices, and that Cain was a farmer!

Genesis 4:3-4 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

It's obvious you haven't even read the Genesis story, so your whole point is worthless.

Got that backwards, Trig. Try again.

Yes, when Abel sacrificed animals as demanded, God was happy. When Cain was jealous because God didn't like his sacrifice of grain and fruit -- compared to the sweet, sweet scent of burning animal flesh that Abel offered -- he murdered Abel. By so doing, he not only committed murder, but he also deprived God of the sweet, sweet scent of burning animal flesh that He so enjoys.

Did you miss the "killing out of jealousy" part, Trig?
