    That always bothered me, too. They weren’t given instruction on what to offer, and they brought based on what it is they do. YET, when Jesus comes around, he commends (!) the pharisees on their tithing of everything, including herbs. But god doesn’t. But Jesus and god are the same person. Yahweh is a fucking tool.

      Pretty sure it wasn’t about the type of food, it was that Cain offered all his shitty vegetables, then killed his brother who offered all his best sheep.

      The story isn’t about the value of vegetables over meat, it’s the total submission. Cain didn’t totally submit, and the type of dude who wouldn’t totally submit would also murder his brother, what a dick!
