On the whole, the Women's Liberation Movement is hostile to the bible, even as it claims that the Bible is hostile to women. he Lord God puts him in the garden "to till it and keep it," a job identified with the male. On the other hand, 'adham is a generic term for humankind. In commanding 'adham not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the Deity is speaking to both the man and the woman (2:16-17). Until the differentiation of female and male (2:21-23), 'adham is basically androgynous: one creature incorporating two sexes. The religion of the Goddess and her sons and lovers, the old gods, Came to be called devil worship because these deities were redefined As devils (when they were not adopted into the Christian canon as Pseudo-saints). The link between "woman" and "devil" in the Patriarchal mind was as old as the Garden of Eden story. Buried as it was under western society's Proliferation of masculine images and values. One interesting idea to Emerge from this new research is, if women's religion had continued, Today’s world might be less troubled by violence and alienation. Gods, Including Yahweh, tended to order their followers to make war. Goddess worship usually entailed frank acceptance of the natural Cycles of sexuality, birth, and death; and maternal concern for the Welfare of coming generations. Nefilim", the "sons of the gods", are called awwim, which means devastators or serpents. Hebrew legends also describe the Eden serpent as a being who walked and talked like a human. The Hebrew book of ancient oral tradition, the Haggadah, speaks of this serpent as a creature with two legs that stood upright to the "height of a camel".
