Fundamentally, John doesn't believe in the god of magic book any more than he believes in biology..and that's understandable, since his culture and values are at odds with the culture and values deified in magic book and with the reality of life as described by genetics.
To the authors, it was important that a god possess and demonstrate this ability. What kind of shit god couldn't lay a proper curse? Jphn, however, wonders what kind of shit god would.
See, if I had written the book, I would have made it plain that these people were created with the knowledge of right and wrong/good and evil. Then I would have had God warn them about eating from a particular tree because God said so.
Justifiable punishments ensue.
