A Side Note on Lamech

       As a sort of side note, I would like to discuss the mentioning of Lamech. Words can not describe how much I despise this man. This man bragged that since Cain had killed one person and he had killed two and since Cain would be avenged seven times if killed; then, he would be avenged seventy seven. This statement implies that this was a terrible human being. He thought that by killing more people he would be greater than his ancestors. That is wrong on so many levels. Some people claim that he was instead planning to kill these people. This can not however be proven and can equally be assumed that he did. This statement shows intent more than anything else. This is why I have always disliked Lamech and read about him with disdain. It should also be mentioned that this Lamech was descended from Cain's line which means Lamech the father of Noah descended from Seth's line must be different people.
