Lillith had many demon offspring, daily I think, and the angels were assigned to kill them. She knew about that but would carry on.
Senoi, Sansenoi, and Sammangelof, killing 100 babies a day as the ultimate act of abortion.
Just trying to imagine how many babies you'd need to have to keep up with such a death counter...
Noah's flood was over similar reasons. According to scripture, when angels and demons have offspring they turn out to be demon giants which is a problem in the gene pool for our species.
That does throw some interesting spin on how people keep getting taller with each coming generation.
Perhapse God couldn't bring himself to end Lillith. ( Adam's ex before Eve was created )
I mean yeah, His angels were almost stuck bartering with her when she refused to leave her new home. I question why He made her at all though, considering that He doesn't make mistakes right? Considering that she was made at the same time as Adam wouldn't she be that much closer to God than Eve, similar to the rhetoric given over why Men are supposedly closer to God than Women over how Eve is connected to Adam who is connected to God?
Otherwise think about it, if people were told that their first four children would die, don't you think a lot of people would try to have five children? As much as He forbid her action He didn't expressly stop her beyond creating an upkeep that I'd argue would only inspire her to need to have even more children.
Does God make mistakes ? Or does all of this drama come with the gift of free will ?
I see this come up a lot, but his Omnipotence does not give Him a pass. If He does not make mistakes and there is an intention behind every little thing to the point of coincidence not existing, then by His sights it's a Deterministic framework.
Having accepted that, looking at Lucifer's path to becoming Satan, the demands being made against Lilith, and even feeling sympathy for people as lowly treated as Job's wife, you end up with no choice but to question not why He'd allow for that to happen, but rather what purpose He figures it'd serve in the bigger picture. Giving us the choice of whether or not to eat from The Tree of Knowledge could have been entirely averted if He'd just not designed such a tree in the first place, which has me presume He meant for us to eat it and then be sent out into the wider world.
At least when it comes to explaining it causally, turning his best angel into Satan for example makes sense, someone has to look over the souls God doesn't want to deal with. If he'd kept him operating purely by the limitations of typical angels, rather than orchestrating the path towards corruption and banishment, then Satan'd never be able to relate to those in his care. I can see a sense of why God would do this in a practical sense, even if I don't agree with His choices it otherwise fits the paradigm in an Orderly way.
If we use the model above, what purpose to god does Lilith serve by being forced to birth a minimum of one hundred babies a day to keep the children she cares about alive? There must be some grander purpose to it, right?
When I think about the insticnts and the typical builds of a man and a woman, it probably wouldn't have been that good if men and women were like men. They would fight over who stays home to watch the nest and who goes out to bring back the bread.
I mostly see it as a matter of power dynamics, which could be just as easily demonstrated with a frontwoman and a househusband.
It's usually when you see two subs trying to make it work with neither having much push or two doms trying to co-exist but ending up with rivalry struggles that things get iffy, but most people don't usually take it as far as that, but rather have areas they're proficient in and areas where they feel they need help, rendering it more a matter of synergy.
When we look at the modern world, women are focusing on their careers and either having children later on in life, or not at all. Of course some people still have children, but the more women start acting the way men were intended to be, we'll see a decline in population growth before a reversal in numbers. Kinda like how most Japanese people in the world are old.
It'd take a lot more than this to have us reflecting Japan's numbers, and you strongly underestimate how many babies can come out of households that don't bother to use protection.
We're more likely to face the Idiocracy problem:
And maybe by design that's how we were made, but in the begining it might not have worked out if women were manly like Lillith. She left Adam cause she wanted to be dominant. However she ended up with Satan, who probably came across as more alpha than Adam.
I always saw him playing up the evil advisor role a little too much to be alpha, plus it'd make sense for the representation of evil to not act traditionally manly.
Even South Park called this one:
Maybe Adam was beta in comparrision, manhood was new and had a lot to learn about female nature. Adam had to change the way he loved women. Eve ended up doing him dirty too, lol.
I suspect from Adam's behaviors that he suffered from T-poisoning while lacking the human awareness of shame (that took the tree of knowledge). He tried to lay on top of her when she did not wish this, then immediately ran to God all entitled over it, whining until she was punished.
