Paradise Lost
February 19, 2010
My 18 year old Buddhist friend says this to a gathered group last night, “stupid eve had to eat that fruit and god punished her with the pains of childbirth.” Did I mention that she is from Asia – didn’t even grow up under the shadows of any steeple or culturally careless translation of Genesis.
How is her statement NOT connected to poor maternal health globally? How can I get that on paper in a way that makes sense academically?
“Stupid Eve . . . ” Unbelievable.
