    Why Do We Still Blame Eve

    Here is the question I’m asking. Why do we (and by we I mean the church) still blame Eve for “The fall”? It amazes me that in this day and age it is still being taught in churches that Eve was responsible for the fall of humanity, thus deserving of the curse placed on her and all women which...
