The names have changed, but the story remains.

Thoughts from Genesis

The story of the fall of man is quite easy to identify with. It does a remarkable job of summing up in just a few words a story that would be retold for generations. Man (or woman) sees that which s/he cannot have. The fruit's forbidden nature is what makes it so enticing. Once the deed is done, the fruit is eaten, it is man's (or woman's) desire to have someone else join him in his guilty pleasure. When the deed is found out about, hiding is the first option. When hiding doesn't work anymore, it is man's (or woman's) inclination to blame other people, blame Satan, or even blame God.

This story has been retold through the ages. The names, the faces, and the forbidden fruits are different, but the story remains the same. Because of these facts, I am able to easily insert myself into it.
