Satan Disproves Christianity

So, your idea of the garden is like this: god tells Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of the tree and presents this as the sole rule,

Good so far.

all the while obscuring the host of other rules, his sins, that attract a punishment despite Adam and Eve not knowing they were okay... and your sole justification is that they wouldn't want to do those things anyway.

As A&E had no desire to commit these other sins there was no need for god to address them. It's nonsensical for you to say that God "obscured" something that wasn't even an issue.

Something you cannot prove, cannot know, and will not admit that you just made up because it's convenient.

Before the fall, god called the creation "very good." The Bible makes it clear that thoughts are sins as well as actions. If Adam had sinful desires, it wouldn't be "very good."

"You can do whatever you want, except the things that'll anger me. What things? Oh no, I ain't telling you! Just stay away from my tree!"

And you think this is okay? Would you accept this behavior from anyone else?

Yes, I think it's OK not to warn people against doing things that they don't desire to do.
