This is one of the questions I had since childhood…
If Cain and Abel were the first children on Earth, who was Cain afraid of? Who was going to kill him?
No one could ever give me a real answer.
And that question didn’t leave me—it pushed me to look deeper, to question more, to stop accepting things just because they were told to me as “truth.”
Because if you take the Bible literally, a lot of things don’t actually make sense.
And instead of encouraging people to question, religion often teaches you to silence that curiosity.
That’s the problem.
Religion, as it’s commonly taught, doesn’t always lead you to truth—it can keep you from it. It gives you stories to follow, rules to obey, but rarely invites you to truly understand.
But the moment you stop reading it as history… and start seeing it as symbolism, psychology, and consciousness… everything changes.
The story of Cain isn’t about random people appearing out of nowhere.
It’s about what happens when you live in separation, guilt, fear.
It’s about the mind that creates consequences and then becomes afraid of its own creation.
The Bible isn’t meant to be taken at surface level.
And the more you question, the more you realize—truth was never meant to be handed to you.
It was meant to be discovered.
