This epitomizes today's liberal. Nothing they do, nothing that happens

If they're given free will and screw things up, why it's the fault of

| | The serpent (not talking snake) tempted Eve, but she willingly took of the fruit and ate it.

And your point? She took of the fruit and ate of it, because she saw that it was good for gaining
the wisdom of God, and that Satan (aka the Serpent) told her that if she ate of it, then she would
become as God. If she only wanted the fruit because if its groovy color/taste, then there were
heaps of other trees that God had told them to eat from. Eating of the fruit was her choice, and
she made the wrong one.
