The "Cultural Context" Excuse

[Minimalist]

God put Adam and Eve here and gave them the best protection that he could give them, which was his word:

"Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

I always find myself wondering what kind of flaming asshole could take that shit literally and then you come along and give a demonstration.
