I thought it was made up but didn't pick up on the nuance, patriarchy and role in the oppression of women.

In no particular order: Why is is all Eve's fault? Seriously - magical fruit? A snake can talk? God needs to take a nap on day seven? Nothing happens unless the cosmic wizard speaks it into being? When was the beginning? Who wrote this nonsense? Is it time for lunch yet? How can anyone is his or her right mind stand in awe of something that ridiculous? What's on TV tonight?

I found it amusing that the snake sounded so much like something else. Later on though, I realised that that was entirely deliberate - it's all metaphor, and the snake really is to be read as "penis".

I felt that apples were the reason we are not immortal.

I knew it was straight-up bullshit, early on.
I was probably around 4, because that's the earliest I can recall memories.

I have always known it false. It never made any sense, and I've never understood how anyone could believe it was all true.

I was pretty young and remember I heard it and never even considered that anyone thought it was real. I thought it was obviously another fairy tale and went about my business. Later on I was sad.

I was about 5, and thought "bullshit"

I did not give it any thought. If god existed then it was just a given. It was after I realized that god did not exist that I thought how ridiculous it all was.

Flabbergasted. The nuns and the priest did not like my questions.

Knitted my eyebrows and thought hmm that doesn't sound right

At the age of 6 and being a compliant child it never occurred to me to question my handlers. Still, I think at some level I took the story less than literally. I never was personally invested in a literal reading. But I recognized those around me at least professed to be, and I suppose I figured it was some kind of shared fiction. Let's just say that much later, in adulthood, I had no attachment to it as literally true and felt no loss walking away from it. And, in fact, felt relief.

I don't think this was the first time. But I remember being in a catechism class (Catholic brainwashing), I dunno about age 6 or 7, and heard the nun tell that story. I looked at my buddy, Joey P., and remember him grinning and saying "What corn." I remember thinking thank goodness I'm not the only one.

I remember being a bit disappointed that people believed it was true, because it was so obviously ridiculous. Being asked to believe in it was silly, although I kept my opinion to myself.

I can't remember the first time I heard it, but I know I feel like I had always believed it. It was just taught from birth I think. Get em while their young.
