I understand your point Frodo, but what is the reason behind that tree being in the garden anyways?
If god is like a parent, and Adam and Eve children, I have to say that he's quite a shitty parent. Everyone knows that when you get a baby into the house, you baby proof it. No sharp corners, no toxins in sight, no knifes in reach and gates to the parts of the house that you don't want the child to get to. Just saying that it'll hurt won't save the child from getting burned, curiosity will force most children to try, even if their parents said so. To think two steps ahead is quite vital, actually.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
