Original Sin: Of Adam, Eve, an apple and a slithery snake

So-called gODD created the world out of nothingness in six days and rested on the seventh day... He created the first man, Adam, in his own image, and the first woman, Eve, from Adam’s rib... He told Adam and Eve to enjoy the wonderful garden of Eden, but not to eat the fruit of the "Tree of Knowledge..." That was the Forbidden Fruit!!! Adam and Eve obeyed gODD, but the Devil, in the form of a serpent, enchanted Eve and got her to take a bite of the Forbidden Fruit... She then convinced Adam to eat it too... Suddenly, innocence was gone... The humans became aware of their nakedness and tried to cover themselves... So-called gODD was disappointed with his creations and cast them out of Eden for this original sin, the first act of disobedience... He also decreed that woman would be answerable to man, and that the children of Adam and Eve – all of humanity – would pay for this so-called sin...

Various schools of Jewish, Christian and Islamic thought disagree on details of this story... Jewish folklore describes the fruit as a pomegranate. Christian folklore describes it as an apple... In Arabic folklore, it is the banana... All in the land of Eden... (Supposedly somewhere in the Middle East)

While Original Sin is a key theme in Christian mythology, in Islamic mythology, Allah forgives Adam and Eve and there is no concept of original sin or carrying forward of sins to the next generation...
