Apologies for double post
Really I think its retarded to believe the story of the original sin ever happened even and especially if you believe in God, its a bleak metaphor about humanity's evolution and about what made them different from animals:
It is meant to be taken literally (and also spiritually, while preserving the literal sense). The Old and New Testament are both filled with genealogies dating back to it (the bloodlines being relevant to the Messiah), and the entire premise throughout is that death entered the world through this specific event. Evolution assumes death before the fall, so it's incompatible with that paradigm. Death isn't natural in the Biblical worldview—God didn't create the world that way.
Hyper-allegorical Christian-adjacent interpretations (particularly those of the gnostics) existed in the first millennium AD, but they were more in line with the popular pagan philosophy of the time than with the tradition that produced the texts in question. It's the same situation today with naturalistic "evolutionary" interpretations that try to force the text to fit a completely different way of looking at the world than the one that produced it.
This isn't the thread to make an argument in one direction or another on whether that worldview happens to be true or not; there's
other threads and posts for that.
If you're wondering why I don't mention the Jews, it's partly because their textual tradition (at least with regards to Genesis, which is the book in question) is actually
younger than that of the Christians: early Christians used the Septuagint, which was a translation of the Old Testament into Greek made by pre-Christian Jews. The Hebrew Masoretic Text, which the post-Christian Jews use, wasn't around until several centuries after Christ and with a lot of stuff changed.
Women are under greater subjection after the fall, so in a sense you're right there—but Adam was also chastised specifically for listening to his wife rather than God. You'll remember that Adam didn't just name the animals: he named Eve. In the ancient world, naming implies authority. They were equal in glory and maybe in other respects, but he had some kind of hierarchical role in relation to her that he betrayed in the fall.
I spent I think 45 minutes analyzing a fucking page of the Bible to write this, please tell me that it was either worth it or that I'm some sort of goyniggertrannyfaggot that is wrong and should kill himself NOW.
You get a lot of the gist of it right.
