I just happen to like apples, and I'm not afraid of snakes.

I posed the following question to my Sunday school class recently:
Would you have eaten the fruit?

(Then we tempted them with Cider Mill apples for effect—even if apples aren’t indigenous to Mesopotamia.)

After some discussion I said, without even realizing I felt this way, “I would have eaten the fruit long before the devil got there.” Had you asked me when I was teenager, I would have answered, “I wouldn’t even look at the tree.”

So how about you?
