Once again, some Christians say that we have all inherited the original sin committed by Eve, who defied God’s decree against eating from the tree of knowledge. This is a triply repellant idea, for it implies that knowledge is bad, disobeying God’s will is the greatest sin of all, and children inherit the sins of their ancestors, and may justly be punished for them.
再一次地，有些基督徒会说我们所有的人都继承了夏娃的原罪，她违抗了上帝的不得吃智慧树果实的命令。这是一个三重排斥的观点，因为它暗示知识是有害的，不遵守上帝的意志是最大的罪恶以及儿童从他们的祖先那里继承了罪恶并应当为他们接受惩罚。
