I am currently going to school, pursuing a Bach. in History. I have about a year left, but right now I am stuck in the worst subject associated with History..... Anthropology. I am forced (yes, I loathe this book and the author very much) to read a book by Kevin Reilly. I am in chapter 7 where he talks about sex and love in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. Yet, he mentions Christianity in passing. It is quite clear that this guy has never read the bible or Ancient literature. He does make a claim out of left-field that "Paul went so far as to develop a whole philosophy based on the implication in the Old Testament that Eve's sin was sexual seduction and her sin had been the cause of all human sufferings ever since causing everyone to be born with this 'original sin,' and requiring that God purify his people by sacrificing his own son."
I had to respond, but I am curious what your thoughts are as well. I know it's clearly false and uneducated. You would think that someone with such high esteem in academia would be honest in his assessment. I should not expect much.
