Re; Genesis as Metaphor

RE: Re; Genesis as Metaphor
Yeah, The Adam and Eve story is probably the most important when it comes to christianity, since it centers around someone needing to die for our sins. Still, it's a hard story to take literally. It's also hard to accept it as just that I deserve punishment for something I had nothing to do with.

Some people like to think the apple was sex, though the need for sex is what drives any species to survive. That seems to make less sense than the two becoming more knowledgeable and less child-like.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
