How do most Christians feel about Adam and Eve as people? Contempt? Reverence? Indifference?

As a Christian, I've always felt a shade of contempt towards them, but I always remind myself that it's all part of God's great plan.
Oh fuck off, I want real answers.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
I honestly don't think they judge Adam and Eve in that way. I'd be surprised if they actually saw them as real people - as we would view an acquaintance - instead of just semi-mythical pseudo-humans.

In saying that, if they did - and took a nuanced approach - I imagine they'd feel a degree of contempt towards Eve and pity towards Adam, with a degree of empathy for each.

A *lot* of Christians interpret the Bible literally, especially in the US.

Still, though, I don't see how one could rationalize any form of contempt towards either of them. God basically fucked them both over by giving them the ability to succumb to temptation, and then he punished every person afterwards for it. I'd feel contempt towards him if I believe the story, if anyone.

How could you not believe the story? Are you really that ignorant?
Yeah, I'm a hellbound heretical faggot.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.

Not really. People like to blame Eve in that story, but when she gave Adam the apple she actually had no clue that 1. God said not to touch it and 2. that the snake was a bad guy. She had no clue. God only spoke to Adam, and when Eve gave him the apple he knew full well that he wasn't supposed to.

But yeah, history has shown that churches like to point to the story of Adam and Eve to explain why women are bad and evil.

And those churches give us a bad rep unfortunately.

I feel indifference.

Because though they caused humanity to be rooted in sin, who am I to say I'm better?
I'm born into sin. We all are.They were the cause, but Jesus became the solution through His death and Resurrection.

Yes, but had they not done that, you wouldn't be a sinner by default.

I still don't blame them. It doesn't change my situation.

I'm hesitant to do this after my last mishap but here
