"And this shows the utter stupidity of God, that he created a small single bed, only one bed, with the male chauvinist idea that Adam will sleep on the bed and Lilith will sleep on the floor. The woman cannot be equal to the man.
"From that very point the whole of Christianity has been against equality. If even God is against it, then equality, equal opportunity for all, cannot be accepted. That's why Christianity is against communism, against anarchism.
"And I say that God was utterly stupid, because when you create a couple, you should at least create a double bed.
"The first night was the beginning of a struggle that continues even today. Lilith wanted to sleep on the bed, and Adam wanted to sleep on the bed, and the bed could not contain the two. So Adam threw Lilith down, then Lilith jumped on Adam and she threw Adam down – just because of a stupid God who could not think that a double bed was needed!
"The whole night the fight continued – the fight for equality that continues even today in every bedroom. Even though now there are double beds available, the fight continues, the pillow fight!
"Next day Adam asked God not the right question – 'Why don't you give us a bigger bed?' – which would have been so simple, logical; he asked God, 'I cannot tolerate this woman who wants to be equal to me.' And God killed Lilith, his own daughter.
"Neither was Adam asking for a bigger bed, nor did God suggest to him that 'There is no problem. I have created the whole world, I can create a double bed. Just (the master snaps his fingers) like thata double bed!'
"But God was also a male chauvinist. He favored Adam, although it was unjust to Lilith, and the injustice goes even to the point of murder – murdering his own daughter because she was asking for equality.
"To me, asking for equal opportunity is a fundamental religious principle. I don't say people are equal, I say people need equal opportunity to grow into their unequal uniquenesses.
"But a double bed! – that proves absolutely that God was a Jew, and it is not an accident that he has chosen the Jews as his own people."
