it was the world's first case of entrapment. God is omnimax, right? That means he knew what would happen when he put them in the garden of Eden. He could have not put the tree there, but he did. He could have not let the snake get at them, but he did. He knew all along that they would eat the apple, and that he would toss them out into the cold, cruel world. That is the act of an evil deity. That is where the evil came from. The boss himself. But these believers will always, no matter what, let him off the hook. They have to, they can't live without him. It's pitiful, actually. How is this still going on in the 21st Century? We should be beyond the need for imaginary friends,
