For the folks back home, let me clarify something:
People often refer to (unapproved) sexual intercourse as #OriginalSin. That is untrue, according to the text of #Genesis. It was not about sex when Adam/Eve were driven out of the Garden. It was **disobedience**, eating of the forbidden fruit. It fact, a case could be made that sex was the Original Commandment. The first directive issued was "be fruitful and multiply".
