Does being under supernatural control exonerate Eve of any sin?
Eve was unjustly punished because she was under supernatural control in a set of circumstances that God himself set up by putting Satan in Eden.
God put Satan in Eden to insure that Eve ate and gave him the power to deceive Eve. She could not resist God's power directed through Satan and thus Eve had no choice but to eat of the tree of knowledge. She, like the snake, were under supernatural control and thus innocent of any wrong-doing.
Eve fails the criteria of mens rea, Latin for evil intent, a fundamental requirement of secular and biblical law, and thus Eve was innocent of any wrong-doing.
No human judge in his right mind would have judged A & E the way God did before God set the conditions that insured that A & E also died from neglect and the locking away of the tree of life. That was murder.

Some esoteric interpretations of the Eden story see it as the rise of self-awareness and personal responsibility. Eve made a choice. Thus, no exoneration here. None for Adam either, who also made a choice.

True but it is said that intelligent men can discuss issues they do not believe in and since that story has been used to bludgeon women into inequality forever, I thought it deserved to be discredited..
Yep, I thought the conséquences were hilarious though. Adam sinned against God, he's damned. Eve sinned against Adam, she gets to do his dishes for générations tocom.
I thought Pennance was the Latin form of Penn Jillette. Pennance Jillettus.

He was true to reality then. My dad wouldn't even look at me until I was killed in a terrorist attack.
