| Thank you for the clarification, phoenix_fire, I had forgot the particulars.
IMO, Eve is guilty of nothing worse than naivetee. Every child goofs up and goes against direction now and then. Parents don't kick their children out until at least the age of 16 or 18. By then they are far more worldly wise and philosophically/ethically educated than Eve probably ever was. I think God was pretty mean. Of course I say that hypothetically because I don't believe this story. But I'll entertain it for the purposes of this conversation. |
