Yes, any decent parent would. My wife and I love our children without conditions. What of it? You're just making God look bad. They make one little mistake and get kicked off the family farm for it. What the bloody hell did they do that was any big deal? All they were guilty of was desiring knowledge. And who would not? But disobedience one time led to expulsion from Paradise. That's a bit much, don't you think? Now Adam will have to work hard to survive and Eve will have to go through hell to deliver kids. For something they were tricked into doing by a malevolent, vain, egomaniacal Deity.
But he loves us!
