Being born n raised Catholic, I only knew the God they
taught. The Family bought the required Catholic version
of the Bible, but we’re not allowed to read it until 1965.

As I do with most books I read, I started with chapter 1,
thinking to make sense of the images presented with
what I had learned in my science classes. Didn't fit.

In the time it took for me to read thru Genesis 1:26 to
the end of the workweek, what I read, opened up an
entirely new line of thinking.

When I read the verse “and the God said, let us make
man in our image… male n female created he them”,
I tho’t, this all was done by Speaking!

The next thought that arose was there were a male
God, and a female God doing the creating.

The third thought was that there was only one God
and the one God had breasts and a vagina n had a
penis and a scrotum, which would be kind of weird -

While these thoughts were fermenting, I read through
Genesis chapter 2. When I got thru verse seven, and
had read of the Lord God forming “man of the dust of
the ground”, he put the man in the garden and gave
him a command, “thou shall not...” which gave rise
to the thought, this is a different creation of man.

And then, after a passage of some time, the God
created a help mate for a man by what seems to
be some form of genetic engineering n we have
the story that was handed down to us about
Adam and Eve.

This scenario gave rise to the question, “What had
happened to the male n female created in Genesis 1
one who were told it was all theirs to “replenish the
earth and subdue it”, have been doing so since then.


I had determined to go to Corpus Christi and make
inquiry of Father Rinaldi regarding what I had read,
but before I could do so I read Matthew 23:9 and
Incurred CC his wrath by calling him Pete -

Along the line of omniscience I have wondered if
the God would ever be honest and say, “Damn,
I didn’t know he was gonna do that!”
