[this is the beginning of a series of lessons gleaned from the book purchased for dustin, "the great bible question and answer book."]
What excuse did Adam and Eve make for eating the forbidden fruit?
When Adam and Eve heard the Lord walking in the garden that evening, they hid from Him. But God called to Adam, and asked what he had done. Adam blamed Eve: "The woman gave me the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, so I ate it."
What do we learn from this?
That even in the beginning, there was the same freakin' double standard there is now! BLAME THE GIRL!
Let's switch the roles...what do we think would have happened if ADAM had eaten the fruit?
Adam: Dude, I totally snagged a piece of fruit!
God: Righteous! *high fives Adam*
next lesson: Where did Jesus eat the Last Supper (and why wasn't it at the Olive Garden)?

Kari, you just put the "fun" back in "fundamentalism" !!!
I think it just shows the "pass the buck" mentality of all Christians. I'm pretty sure had it been Eve she would've said, "Adam made me do it."
Maybe not. It's all God's fault anyway. If he hadn't lied to Adam and Eve then the Serpent wouldn't have been able to woo them with the truth.
(God: You'll die immediately if you eat from the tree.
Serpent: Fuck him. You'll gain knowledge and become more like God, and he doesn't want you to know that.
Adam & Eve: He's a real sonuvabitch. Pass the doochie.)
Who was right?
