She disobeyed god and started the whole sin trend in humans, so did god put her in an everlasting lake of fire?
If she repented, and god forgave and decided that he did want her to live with him forever why did he continue to expel her from his garden and continue to condemn her children?
If she is in hell, does she really deserve it? 6000 years of torture is a pretty stiff sentence served for unwittingly listening to another supreme being that you had no previous reasons to mistrust.
The fairy tale of Adam and EVE is Just that - Even most xtian religious sects - starting with Catholics - admit that the story is at most an allegory - and it does not have to be believed as literally true.
There was NO EVE - there was NO Adam - no snake - no garden of Eden - no proven god - and No hell (there is no hell in the old testament and it is not a belief of Judaism) the story is nothing more than a childrens story - and Humpty Dumpty isn't real either.
The problem with stories written by ancient goat herders and cave dwellers is that they did no think the thing through enough to realize that there are LOTS of holes in the stories that intelligent people from the 21st century can easily identify.
Ask yourself - WHY is it that cheating on your spouse is a MAIN law -of god - but RAPING a person against their will is not?
