I see having to work for a living as a good thing.
Like the Jews, Gnostic Christians like me think of Eden as where man was elevated, not where he fell.
A & E, to us, graduated from childhood to adulthood, so getting to work is our reward, not our penalty. Not to mentioned that we gained the knowledge of reproduction and could now breed.
Nice because otherwise, if you follow the story line, none of us would be here.
Christianity reversed the moral of the story when they usurped the god of the Jews.

This isn't to say that your beliefs cannot refer to some valid reading, and the coming of age story is right out there for all to see, it's just the acknowledgement that any notion that you or people who believe as you do aren't expressing some sort of traditional continuity. That's just another example of the abrahamic ladder. You all want to believe that your beliefs were the original version, and that someone else "flipped" this or that. Credibility is somehow exchanged in this way. None of you are speaking from a point of fact in the matter.
