"I, also noticed something else, Adam and Eve's first born is Cain. Second born is Abel. Cain kills Abel."
Not that you have anyway of knowing this (because today's priests/ministers are no longer schooled in the classics), but "Cain" is ancient Hebrew/Yiddish for "spear", while "Abel" is ancient Hebrew/Yiddish for "vanity".
The tale is a metaphor. The spear (Cain) slew vanity (Abel).
It gives an entirely new meaning to the Bible when one reads it in its original format.

All I can say is, it's a good thing schools are "gun-free zones".
Otherwise, somebody might get hurt!

The tale is a metaphor. The spear (Cain) slew vanity (Abel). Not sure if I agree. Abel gave his best to God. Can didn't find as much approval. Thus, it was Cain's own vanity, which led him to kill Abel. imo
