Are Women Responsible For "Original Sin"?

Seriously, what do you think?


  • Oh, also..

    On another, different note – it does not even matter who is responsible for it. We all sin, regardless of gender, and women are not more sinful than men. Doesn’t even matter who took the apple from the tree, we all do it now.

  • No

    Honestly? After looking at how Christianity and Catholicsm (all types) portray women, I say they’re all full of it. They are shaking their fingers at us as iff we’re responsible for all things that go wrong. It makes us out to be the evil ones when we’re not!! I don’t believe in “original sin” and I don’t believe women are responsible for it just because a book says we are. No. Absolutely not.

  • They both are responsible

    Eve may have been deceived by the serpent and ate the apple, but Adam was pretty much only a couple steps away, and it was part of his responisbility to take care of her, and in not stopping her from eating it, as God commanded him not to eat it, and then eating the apple himself, he took on as much responsibility in the fall as Eve did.

  • Eve, not woman is responsible

    You can't say that a woman took the fruit and thus a women are responcible for the original sin. Eve took the fruit and thus she is (was) the one responsible. It doesn't matter if she was a woman or a man.

  • God(s)

    I am not saying I dont believe in God, maybe Gods, but, God puts the forbidden fruit out there to easily be taken, except for the temptation, why? Gods game? If so that is why I tend to believe in Gods and the God who put the forbidden fruit could be a lesser God? Hard to believe. Maybe there is God(s), but there is humanity. Tolerance is a main key I think but subject to the laws made by people.

  • Theologically speaking

    The text says that Adam was the one that God gave authority to. Therefore the existance or lack there of was his weight to carry. Read the book and you will see that sin didn't enter the world until Adam ate the fruit.

  • Er..

    So if a woman didn’t eat the apple, who would have? A man. And then the question would be “Are Men Responsible For ‘Original Sin?’” A simple answer: someone had to do it. Another slightly more complicated but still relatively simple answer: women were’nt thought of as highly in that time period as they are now.

  • By The Way

    I hope you all know this, but the original sin was not sex as a lot of un-educated people think...but it was knowledge.

    The snake is a form of knowledge in a lot of pagan religions, and there for it represented that aspect and offered Eve the "sin" which is no sin at all in my book.

    My question is...why wouldn't God want humans to have knowledge?

  • Why should the blame carry

    I'd like to know why the blame for original sin was passed down through women in the first place. You don't accuse a child of a crime if it was their parent who committed it, so why would all women be responsible for the actions of one. Of course, this is assuming you believe in Genesis, which I don't. While I do believe in some parts of the bible, Genesis is an area I consider to be mostly mythology.

    Oh, and does anyone know the story of Lilith? She's a very interesting contrast to Eve.
