We used to be a partnership society, before we got corrupted (the fall

Rick Knight responds:
Are you regarding the Adam and Eve story as literal or archetypal.
Although I think the staying power of suchs myths implies that they
have archetypal significance, any other conveyance seems to be
completely illogical (like Santa, tooth fairy, the Easter bunny).

Ya, I meant that they represent the fall of man, I dont believe all that
about making the woman out of man's rib dust or whatever, but I think its a
metaphor for something.
