So much wrong with this meme, but I will start with this major detail, which I preface by saying this concept wasn't taught to me. These are my own thoughts:

The original sin, which is symbolized by Eve eating an apple, is two fold.

1) Adam and Eve did exactly what God had commanded they should not do.

(This is obviously what everyone commonly thinks about when considering what the original sin was.)

2) The motivation for doing the only thing they were commanded not to do, eat the fruit in the middle of the garden, was to be Gods themselves. That's my take on Genesis 3:5

IMO, this motivation to be God is the worst part of the original sin. To attempt to be God is arguably the worst sin of all.

BTW, no mention of apple in Genesis at all.
