And there never was an apple, in Adam's opinion, that wasn't worth the trouble you got into for eating it.

I am sure that in the story of Adam and Eve, the forbidden fruit was a fig and not an apple, pear or anything else.

Did perpetual happiness in the Garden of Eden maybe get so boring that eating the apple was justified?

Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once. It is an insult to creation not to experience it fully. Temperance is wickedness.

Christ managed to boil down an awful lot of commandments to a few very simple rules for living. It's when you go backwards through the 'begats' and the Garden of Eden, and you start thinking, 'Hang on, that's a big punishment for eating one lousy apple... There's a human-rights issue.'

In the beginning, Adam was instructed to earn the bread by the sweat of his brow - not Eve. Contrary to conventional wisdom, a mother's place is in the home!

By his disobedience of God's law, before man had exercised his power to bring children into the earth, not only Adam lost everything for himself, but his children were born as sinners, imperfect, and without the right to live.

I'll squeeze the cider out of your adam's apple.

Of Adam and Eve: They had what they wanted. That they did not like it when they got it does not alter the fact that they certainly got it.
