I had never looked at it in this manner. Cursing a creation for behaving the way it was designed...I do that every day when I find bugs in my code ;) What's really funny is how closely the story parallels that of Pandora's box wherein the gods INTENTIONALLY leveraged mankind's inherent curiousty to deliver a curse upon them. (The unfortunate culprit in both tales is the woman who was created as man's companion). And we've been blaming our woes on women ever since. Very interesting.

This was something that I felt as well, and it weighed heavily on me. I still have a hard time understanding how Christians deal with this. Lily, I couldn’t agree with you more.

So true though. Kind of like how I was taught that we were made in the image of God and saved from sin. But also, because I was a sinner, my very existence was offensive to God and I had to constantly repent, even if I hadn't done anything sinful. I wasted so much time trying to feel guilty and trying to repent for nothing in particular. Oo, touché. So true though.
