The rebellion against God started through Eve's inability to think logically - desire took precedence over reason, but she was not willing to recognize it. Adam simply followed his wife. knowing that it was wrong. A bit like men giving feminism free reign. They know its wrong, but permit it nevertheless.

Actually, she did use her reason. She checked out the fruit, saw that it was good to eat and would make her wise, and chowed down. Remember - there is no evidence that God Himself ever told her not to eat the fruit. Presumably, she just got this info second-hand from Adam.
Think logically? She ASKED the devil questions; she didn't just take the apple the second that he told her to. Adam, on the other hand, didn't ask any questions. Don't you think HE was the one thinking illogically?
And I don't know about you, but I thought that Adam and Eve had no conception of right and wrong before they ate the apple. And your last few sentences make my blood boil. Eve was not a feminist; she just made the wrong choice and Adam was an idiot for following her up on it. If anything, Lilith was the one who was a feminist. And how is wanting your basic rights as human beings wrong? What is so wrong with not wanting to be treated like pet dogs?
It's a bit like misogynistic pigs still spreading their bile about the inferiority of women. They know it's wrong, but permit it, nevertheless.
Look, everyone knows Adam has an excuse: He was thinking with his dick, like all men do, according to Fundies.
She was dumb as a sack of rocks, because she didn't have KNOWLEDGE.
Besides, it seems logical to me to desire more power when the snake puts it in those terms.
Eve's inability to think logically - desire took precedence over reason, but she was not willing to recognize it.
Yeah, sure, the bitch was probably PMSing, too. Wanton hussy, never satisfied, trying to take over the man's world the day she got here. And poor old Dagwood Adam, just trying to get along, hadn't a chance; you know he's going to be wrong - he's the husband.
no its not feminism , its more being pussy whipped. The talking snake is really the one responsible. Even from the start God just let things spin out of his control.
ohm and who made Eve anyway ?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
