you know what's drove me up the wall for like two years is this one post where someone's like "why do christians keep associating the forbidden fruit/original sin with sexual immorality!! it had nothing to do with that in the bible!!" like. christians don't associate the forbidden fruit with sexual sin. that was entirely a connection made up by loosely christian/culturally-christian pop culture

#very few serious theologians believe the forbidden fruit had anything to do with sexuality #other than a vague sense of it being the start of *all* sin #i do think it's sometimes used as like. a metaphor. when it comes to christian sex ed/views on sex but #for most people it's not a serious parallel beyond the pop culture surrounding it #tumblr users stop equating the popular culture surrounding a religion with the actual beliefs of said religion challenge (impossible!!)#sorry for complaining about tumblr posts about christianity again. do you still think i'm hot #.txt
