Lol...Ok...making a note to self: don't quote zion mountain. Really, I won't. I'm just trying to learn here
Anyway...the story of Adam & Eve has a different meaning to me. Eve, as a woman, is to blame in one of the first stories in the Bible. Oh woe is the woman in those times. AND, after she eats the apple, Adam & Eve are kicked out of paradise, have to put on clothes, etc. Hence: the party is over and they start to recognize their shame, guilt, etc...being rasied as a Catholic, this story was used to teach us to feel shame & guilt, to be fearful of God's power, to resist temptation (but carry heavy blame if one falls to it), and to control our desires and bad behaviors
Being catholic sucked
