Hahaha oh wow you guessed it right! I was laughing my ass off when I made that connection. The metaphor probably fits a little better in Umineko though.

I really hope that is NOT what he meant to say by adding that in there. Because it would have the same problem as Twilight has. What's implied in twilight is that if you eat the forbidden fruit you'll enter into paradise. When what it's trying to say in the bible is the reverse. You were already in paradise and you had all the choices in the world except for that one thing. By doing that thing you get kicked out of paradise.
Well in twilight's case it's more ridiculous because the forbidden fruit is a glampire...

That's one way to look at it.
