    Oh, I like this one. There is a real element of truth in it (objective
    truth). We humans are what we are in large measure because we are sinners.
    I do have real trouble identifying with the sinnless Adam but not the sinner
    Adam. So in one real sense, they became human when they did start taking the
    Lord's name in vain.
