The garden of eden.
#20
RE: The garden of eden.
The thing I find very interesting about the story of the Garden of Eden is how different god's behavior is from modern christianity.

That is: god is permissive, even to the point of disregarding consequence.

Whereas it could be said that many christians are controlling: making the argument that people must be forced to obey this or that for their own good.
