     Some people are dominated by negative interpretations                      
of  the story of the Garden of Eden and original sin;  the                                                                     
fallen   nature   of man.     They interpret it as  saying   
that people  are  inherently,  by nature, untrustworthy --   
-   to   be  suspected,    assumed   guilty  until  proven

person   who   is  optimistic   about   people  and  about                                                                 
possible  relationships with strangers.      They  usually                                                              
approach   new  people and  relationships  expecting  that                                                              
things  will  go  wrong ---   and sure   enough  they  do;                                                                     
proving  that  their suspicions  were well  founded,   and                                                                     
their theology is well founded.
