Well then, at least we now have motivation for the bizarre assertion that Cain wasn't the son of Adam; hatred for human achievement. What else can explain a passion for contriving a mechanism by which science, technology, and music are to be the responsibility of the Devil? It's one thing to be gullible enough to accept the Bible as the inerrant and infallible word of God; it's an altogether special brand of lunacy that allows someone to wield the Bible as some conspiratorial weapon of mass delusion. I suppose the author of Matthew was the first of this kind.
Playing hopscotch through the Bible stringing together unrelated passages in an attempt to demonstrate some otherwise untold story or manufacture a prognostication is not Biblical scholarship; it's meaningless drivel. It's almost as if people that do this, mostly evangelicals, have concluded that the Bible wasn't sufficient. If I were a literalist believer, I think I would reconsider effectively telling God that his literary claim to fame was an inadequate pile of shit.
