I really enjoy some of these because of their cleverness. Then there’s some like these.
Despite 100% foresight, he put it there. Didn’t have to, but wanted to.
God is the creator and origin of sin, suffering, and damnation by choice and design. If there were anything real about it, he would clearly be the evil one and has the world fooled.
I think the implication of what you’re saying is that it’s inherently evil to provide “wrong” options along with free will. It’s an interesting point to think about.
At any rate, it certainly seems like a god should have been able to avoid this humanity-altering misunderstanding if he didn’t want it to happen.
Not to mention torment them for millenia, maybe floods, maybe locust, I’m definitely going to smite a city or two, oh and raining frogs, hahaha ha, yea that’s a truly genius idea!
There are some Niel Blomkamp skits about God (I can’t remember the show they were from but it’s on Netflix) and they are funny as shit.
“What is that human doing?”
“He’s praying to you, sire.”
“Why?”
“Well, he’s asking you to make it rain.”
“Is that all?” Makes it rain “Such simple creatures, amused by the simplest of things… Send a plague!”
“What? Why sir?”
“It would be funny!”
He became Santa to monitor human morality on the ground level.
Never thought I would defend the Bible. BUT you have obviously never had your lunch stolen. Some one stole a Bologna sandwich from me. That was 2006! Never forget!
From what I’ve been taught, the apple is merely a symbolism, and it was really about Adam and Eve having sex, and that’s why people are born with original sin and need to be baptized to get it lifted.
Not that it changes much, but it wasn’t just an apple.
Imagine giving them both the body parts and the urge for sex and then being pissed they fucked.

Ooh, I’ve never heard that interpretation before. Honestly, given my wildly puritanical upbringing I’m kinda surprised I haven’t.
I was always taught “it’s not about the fruit, it’s about their disobedience”. I feel like that at least makes a little more sense, but it’s still not great.
I’ve heard a rabbi describe it as an allegory of the transition from childhood in the garden to adulthood when we are cast out and face all the hardships of adulthood. Something that happens to everyone, even the first everyones.
Except for the children of the rich. Those adult children we’ve somehow allowed to reign over us in the real world and torment us in modern actuality.
Everyones interpretation is different.
For example, the fruit of knowledge in the real world would be psilocybin mushrooms and other psychedelics. There is a large number of mushroom based iconography on very old images of Jesus.
Considering the psychedelic nature of spirituality in Latin America, including use of the San Pedro cactus to perform Chrstian rites, it makes a lot of sense that “god” would be mad at A&E for eating shrooms
Bro he better not be mad at arts and entertainment TV. That shit was legit
