> That's the title of the Harold Kushner book I am reading and loving right now. It is helping me with my childhood religious damage. It is a comforting and sane revisiting of the myth of Adam and Eve and their expulsion form Paradise. That's a myth that has, being misread IMO, has brought so much unnecessary suffering in a world in which suffering is already an intrinsic part.

You wrote,[...the xxxx of Adam and Eve...been misread..suffering...].
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. Is it possible for Adam and Eve to not be mythical? If not, why not?
B. If it is misread, how could it be read instead?
C. What is the suffering from as to what is written in the reading about Adam and Eve?
