It doesn’t take an omniscient being who can see the entirety of the past, present and future to know that.

Which, means they were decidedly not meant to chill in the garden. Rather, they were meant to eat the fruit and gaslight into believing it was their fault.

It’s like some idiotic-asshole who gets a pair of golden retrievers, tells them they can have all the kibble and dog treats they want, but not the pizza left on the counter.

Of course Adam and Steve are gonna snarf on the pizza the moment Jackass leaves. It’s not their fault. They’re just dogs.

(What? This is my story. The dogs are Adam and Steve.)

Exactly. In keeping with my other comments, that's why some early christian sects actually viewed Eve as a hero in the story, because she freed them from ignorance... You know, back when christianity was driven by women and wasn't just roman ideology wearing a Jesus skin mask.

Can you suggest any reading (like long form articles or something) about the women-led xtianity traditions?

I’ve never heard anything about that, and I’d like to know more.

You can find these collections in the Apocrypha. It’s a collection of all the weird side-stories that could have become biblical cannon but were scrapped for various reasons.

Cool thanks! I’ll take a look!
