Do I sin because of Adam?

[catfish]

Well, I don't know that I would extend it all that far (it's just a fairytale afterall) but it does seem like the folks who put it together were trying to tie a myth of a better place and more innocent time to the reality of their lives at whatever point it took that form as a narrative.

(none of the better readings are literal, because none of that shit happened Cat..lol)

I'm focussed on your choice of words there. "Better" implies more suited for a job or more desirable. So you recognise the non-literal reading as better yet choose the lesser reading from the choices as recognised by yourself.

This is very telling, that you can identify a "better" reading, insist on the opposite, then want me to give you a "key" so that you can choose what you yourself thinks is better. While the whole time you simply had that key misplaced (or purposely hidden).
