Yeah, I do believe I was doing that, you have convinced me! Thank you. That leaves out all the shit in the Quran about them marrying their own twin sister's, an Cain was mad that Able's twin was cuter.
Wait, that is an actual thing in the Quoran?

Oh yeah, the story of Cain and Abel doesn't really make sense in the christian tradition cause it's missing the real impetus for the murder. Jealousy over women... Who just happen to be their twin sister's!
I'm less familiar with the Hebrew stuff, but I'm pretty sure this story is similar there too. The christian tradition whitewashes the story an incredible amount cause even Constantine thought it was icky!
