Drat those sinful greedy babies! I thought that stuff went out of style with Cotton Mather's recanting of witchcraft trials -- too late for a score of women and a man, but at least he recanted, albeit on nearly his deathbed.
The anthropomorphic flying monkey who tricked Adam and Eve into eating of the forbidden made us heirs of their sin of forbidden fruit eating. I believe that this is a cop out and a mythic intrepetation of loss and and a Golden Age vice an actual historic event.
I am just informed that an anthropomorphic flying monkey is just silly, that the animal in question was actually the Biblically factual talking snake.
How in the world can an infant or even child sin when they have no concept of morality, of religious duty, and their superegos in Freudian terms, aka, "training" is not yet even in the process of formation?
Greedy babies! Indeed! People on islands for thousand of years with no contact with outsiders and therefore no knowledge of Noah, Jesus Christ or Adam condemned to eternal perdition -- repugnant to the Word of God, the Christian religon as taught and practiced as orthodox, and just good taste and common sense.
I'll take a greedy "sin baby" over this ridiculous claptrap any day of the week!
"Suffer the little children to come unto me."
Why? So they can be whipped for being greedy and looking at and reaching for bright shiny things?
