But please do spin around and give us the usual "spiritual death" nonsense, Drich. I'm sure we'll all ignore that it isn't present in the text at all!
Adam and Eve before the fall were immortal. Once the ate the forbidden fruit, their imortal lives ended. They died. Perhaps in a spiritual sense as well, but their physical immortality their life up to that point ended.
Drich, regurgitating the story is missing the point. You would like this story to be moral but it is not.
If someone lacks knowledge that you have it is unfair of you to force them into a situation they had no choice in being in then blame them for your own actions. Eve did not set up the garden or the tree or the snake, god did, and did so in a bet with Satan without her knowledge or consent, which made her mere property, a pawn, a poker chip.
God blames her for the game he set up. It would be no different than knocking over the monopoly board in and she is the mere shoe unaware that he was going to do that anyway.
You rig the bet and know who will win and make the poker chip the looser you are a dick.
