at eve. and not only at eve but at god, because he says she gave me and you gave her to me. now an angry god casts his creation out of paradise. and just like adam, throughout the millennia, everyone has blamed eve. women are blamed for lots of things that perhaps they need not. adam could have said, that fruit, i m not going to eat it. but he took the fruit and he ate it. does that trouble you the way it s been portrayed? of course it s troubling. but it reminds me that the bible, for all that we say it s a divine document, it is written from a man s point of view. ironically, in the muslim holy book, the koran, there s more than enough blame to go around. both adam and eve are to blame equally for eating the forbidden fruit. so, they re co-equal human
