And it wasn't Eve who was at fault for taking the apple - it was the (male) serpent that lied to her
[/ QUOTE ]
Technically, it was a snake possessed by Satan, which had no masculinity or feminity, except we've been brainwashed by popular mythology that Satan is male. And let's not even start on Lilith...
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, in Matthew 12, Jesus refers to Satan as "he" - plus there are other passages where he is identified as a male.

So you also admit that the Christian God is male? You know, since the same book refers to it as a he?

Yes - and angels seem to be male too - they only have male names, and are called the Sons of God.

So women just do whatever told them and thus cannot be held responsible for their actions?
[/ QUOTE ]
No, just pointing out that Eve was in fact lied to, and didn't knowingly trick Adam.

Well, Revelation identifies the serpent as Satan, and Matthew identifies Satan as a male - that's not bias, that's just reading what's written.

Damn it you got there first. The translation of the bible uses he and she in places where a non gender specific term was used in the original text. This is due to language limitations.
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
Wizards and Witches and Jesus oh my!
Just be thankful your not chruch of england, theres no pie for us, your choice is either cake or death.
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year's bitter loving must remain
~Edna St. Vincent Millay
Good thing then that I like cake; it's the church I'm allergic for.
sorry i'm afraid we're all out of cake, we only had a few slices and we didn't expect such a rush.
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year's bitter loving must remain

Angels = male (male names, and called the Sons of God) - Satan = fallen angel - Satan = male.
The entire divine structure was presented as male - God, then the Sons of God, then Adam, mad in God's own image, with one of the Sons of God, Satan, being given authority by God to test Adam.
In this setup, women are very much an afterthought - Eve isn't planned, and is only created when Adam becomes lonely - and she isn't even independently created - she's made from Adam's own body.
Her main function, apart from being to explain where women come from, is to act as the fall girl and absolve Adam of too much blame - if Satan's role is to test Adam, then it's Adam he should be testing with the temptation of the apple, not Eve - but that would place all the blame on a man, which wouldn't suit the male structure.
So the blame is shifted to Eve instead, making Adam seem less guilty of breaking a divine command - it is the woman, the being who is not made in God's own image, that is presented as the cause of the problem.

At the risk of being flamed to Revelations and back - it's a book, they are only words. Simple, moral guidelines from which to base your life, not a historic text to be taken too literally.
@Jay Leon Hart

But the guidelines it's presenting are encouraging people to view women as weak, easily tempted and deceitful - it's telling men "don't worry, it's not really your fault - it's hers" - which brings us back to the whole witchcraft thing - presenting women as evil, and the cause of all problems.
