"You will find god in many cases is a spiteful bastard" he responded in a way that was sure to shock her Victorian morals. In answer to her question he moved to the closet and opened it. In there was a locked cedar chest, he unlocked the chest and soon produced a heavy leather bound book. He then handed it to her "the church would not approve, but I was never much on thought policing and I am much too old to deal with childish superstition."<br/><br/>After she took the book he grinned "you will find Lilith was Adam;s first wife for example. She was not made from his rib as Eve was so she possessed independent thought. By many accounts she is the mother of witches and other things that go bump in the night and was cast out of Eden for sin." He chuckled richly "apparently her sin was wanting to be on top when her and Adam had sex."
