Thoughts of Genesis

Genesis 1 and 2, both from the Bible, are written in a unique way. Repetition is a technique used frequently, such as "and it was good," and starting most of the sentences with 'And.' The verbs used in this passage are descriptive and it is obvious that this was written thousands of years ago. Although it is descriptive, the sentences are very simple and the vocabulary is easy to understand, in order for everyone to be able to comprehend it. The story of Genesis makes me think that God "made" women so a man wouldn't be lonely and would be able to participate in sexual activity. It also says that "they shall be one flesh," but I think that gives the impression that a man and a wife have to be almost the same person. I believe that every person deserves independence. I do not think anything from the Bible should be used in court. First of all, not everyone believes in the same religion or even a religion at all. Bringing religion into court is unfair. Everyone has the same rights and laws, no matter what they believe in. Personal beliefs should be left outside of the courtroom and should not be mentioned. Religion should be left out of all governmental matters.
