Cain and Abel

So continuing with Adam and Eve's story, Eve becomes pregnant and eventually gives birth to Cain, and even later gives birth to Abel. Next we really hear of them, Cain is a farmer and Abel is a shepherd. They gave up things to God to signify their regret for their sins: Abel sacrificing lambs and Cain giving up fruits and vegetables or whatever he grew. When the time came to offer their goods to God, the lamb burned completely on the altar while the veggies/straw/what? hardly burned. OBVIOUSLY this meant God liked Abel better than Cain (totally justified, though) and so Cain became jealous. And what's the most logical thing to do when you're jealous of someone? Yeah, Cain lures Abel out into a field and kills him.

God asks Cain where Abel is and Cain responds like a sass-master, saying "Am I my brother's keeper?" God clearly gets pissed at Cain for killing off his brother in a jealous fit, and exiles him, forcing him to become a vagabond who no longer has the ability to yield crops. Since Cain has the (understandable) suspicion that people would murder him, God gives him a mark to prevent that from happening.

I have three older sisters who are terribly difficult to get along with. Over time we've gotten less argumentative and quarrelsome, but when a fight does sprout up it's a ridiculous over-the-top one. My family also is very passive and doesn't like to deal with confrontation, so the majority of our fights are through my mom. We'll complain to her about something the other is doing and then get an earful of complaints back from her. We're all incredibly competitive, especially me, so we're constantly competing over the most trivial things. But I guess they're kind of okay for siblings. I won't kill them off or anything.
