If It’s Out Of Africa, Then They’re Out
I’m selling art by local artists, and one of my larger pieces is an interpretation of Adam and Eve. I grew up in a very strict religious household and was able to escape that particular religion. As a result, my Bible knowledge is quite strong. Also, as the owner of my own market stall, I can be honest with customers who irk me.
Customer: “Why are they Black?”
Me: “Because the artist chose to interpret them as Black. But to be fair, it’s a pretty fair interpretation considering where most events in the Bible took place.”
Customer: “But that’s blasphemous! Adam and Eve weren’t Black!”
Me: “What were they, then?”
Customer: “Well…”
Me: “You think they were white?”
Customer: “All the pictures I’ve seen of them they’re white!”
Me: “You mean paintings? As in artist interpretations? Like this one?”
Customer: “But they weren’t African!”
Me: “They weren’t European, either. And it’s the general consensus that all of humanity originated from Africa anyway.”
Customer: “You mean that evolution bulls***? No. I’m gonna stick with the Holy Bible on this.”
Me: “So, you’re going with the Garden of Eden? Which was located near the Tigris and Euphrates River? So, the Middle East? Yes, lots of white people from there.”
Customer: “I thought you were trying to sell this painting?”
Me: “Were you ever going to buy it?”
Customer: “Adam and Eve weren’t Black!” *Storms off*
The painting was eventually sold to a church for their Sunday school! I hope that the next generation of Christians does better.
