Minute Paper 10.20.15

JayDee and Katherine supported Lilith, while Danyal argued heavily against her actions and RJ moderated. We debated potential excuses for Lilith’s devilish actions such as Adam and his forceful subordination of Lilith. Ultimately, Lilith is killing babies and an evil character, but she represents the only biblical woman that is entirely equal to Adam. We also looked into what the satire’s original point was, as it most likely was not a feminist text. We learned about ancient magic and why amulets were so strongly believed in with no medical support, and we exposed plot holes in the Ben Sira piece, such as: where are the 100 babies of Lilith’s that are killed daily coming from?
