Even though my conservative religious upbringing was comparatively mild, and ended when I was 12, I think I still have some lingering fuckery from it even now.

I like the icon you made with this!

I would get into so many knock down fights during sunday school when I was a kid defending Eve that it wasn't even funny. I remember being maybe 10 and protesting, "ADAM GO INTO TROUBLE TOO!" and really, if you believe that it happens just like it says, then Eve just couldn't say no to the second most powerful being in the universe.

Adam just couldn't say no to a naked woman, and again, at the time he didn't even care she was naked. So really, why the fuck to does everyone focus so much on Eve?

I remember everyone just kind of looking over my head and going back to ignoring Adam, and bitching about Eve. Ugh.
