Ferrara covers Hahns female Holy Spirit, but he also discusses Hahns weird view of Original Sin (something lightly touched upon in ONeills June 2004 NOR article). Says Ferrara: Hahn speculates that the serpent in the Garden was actually a dragon or other monster with which Adam should have engaged in mortal combat to protect himself and his bride
. Hahn thus suggests that the original sin was not disobedience to a divine command under temptation, but rather a refusal to sacrifice his life under a death threat: [Says Hahn] Knowing the serpents power, Adam was unwilling to lay down his own life for the sake of his love of God, or to save the life of his beloved. That refusal to sacrifice was Adams original sin. The internal quote is from Hahns First Comes Love, page 70. Hahns next line is this: He [Adam] committed it [the original sin] even before he had tasted the fruit, even before Eve had tasted the fruit. Wait a minute...This guy is the Catholic religion's bible guru...He has to be right...

How does B follow from A?
I would also suggest reading what’s between the quotation marks when forming an opinion of Hahn’s opinion.
