You know, if it's only mythological, don't let it bug you. wink

OTOH, what if it's more than myth?

And for the record, as Ken said way earlier, Adam was the bad guy, not Eve. She was deceived. He walked in knowing what he was doing. Sin entered the world by one MAN, not by the woman.


It bugs me because of how the Church treats women. I admit that since Vatican Council II women have been treated better especially in the Catholic Church. The Church has attempted to take the Goddess out of the Bible and Gospels. Thankfully, many Christian women scholars have started to right a wrong. To most Christians Eve is still the bad guy.

Still doesn't inspire me to be a Christian but it is interesting to read the Christian women scholars.
