Alas, I can’t take credit for this. This is from my husband. “You opponent claims God put morality into the heart of every human. According to their own book, God didn’t teach the difference between good and evil, the forbidden fruit was required, and off limits. Without original sin there would be no knowledge of good and evil. If you have morality, thank Eve.”
yep, he’s quite a bit smarter than me. I have the brain that is a great retrieval and storage unit. he has the brain that is the one that shows how things work.
This god wanted an amoral people per the myth. Things were supposedly, objectively, evil, but as long as humans were ignorant, things were fine per this god. Being naked was supposedly wrong, but A&E were nekkid with no problem.
Until that tree.
The idiot god got a people who knew what good and evil were. Seems like the people outstripped the god.
Most of us know that killing kids and committing and encouraging genocide is wrong.
Club Schadenfreude 
and all these could have been avoided if god didn’t show them the location of the tree or didn’t plant it at all

heh, yep. the genesis story makes this god look like a complete idiot, or supports Zande’s evil god theory.

I quote that book (The Owner of All…) so often at the religiots. That and the lyrics from my favorite in-tell-ek-shualll French Black Metal Band, Deathspell Omega:
A testimony
from the dimension of regret.
This voice comes
from the second right after the disaster
when all there is left to say
in a distressed whisper is
It is too late.
The irreparable has been carved in stone
and those made accountable for it are you.
Standing, shivering in cold dim light
waiting for the sentence of the Holy Dead
like Adam and Eve at the end of time.
One may argue that it was flawed
since the beginning
that the dice were loaded
that God had it all within
that He is the Source.
O heavenly Father!
pathogenic agent of contamination.
harbringer of catastrophe,
icon of the impending Fall:
but what difference does it make?
Altitudines Satana
the vertigo of Liberty
tipped the scales.
A shadow of horror is risen.
This will not be redeemed
no matter how sincere the genuflection
and ardent the confession.

I’d say God set Adam and Eve up to fail.

Yep, that’s how the story reads if you don’t assume a “benevolent” god and have to make up excuses why it is such a fuck up.

Cant even believe one of the worst stories made its way all across generations and we still have highly ‘intellectual’ people believe in this story. This just tells, humans had a phase when they were stupid enough to come up and believe in this ridiculous story. However God had two options with him – 1) create life on earth and let it evolve or 2) take some clay and breathe life and then take rib and give life, create an enemy ‘Satan’, ask Not to eat from a tree and go on and finally on earth as punishment.. God is more stupid than the people who came up with this story 🙂
