That would be a mistake, both the recollection and the equation.
You had said:
Greg's remark that "The West is not Christianity." I'm sure you could squeeze some truth out of that, but not much.
Perhaps I misunderstood you. FWIW, I use the West to mean Hellenic culture. Christianity is a hybrid of East and West, with her best exponents, IMO, being the most Hellenized--St. Jerome, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Ignatius Loyola, etc.
As to this:
Eve was the victim of a serpent.
You might read the text. It's interesting. Anti-humanity, anti-rational-animal, but interesting.
I wrote a novel about the idea of the fall of man, actually. Very much pro-humanity. And unlike Genesis 3, it is concerned with sex. It's called The Unfallen. You can download it at no cost if you're interested.
Best,
Greg Swann
