Really?!?
"Genesis 2:17: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
According to your nasty little collection of evil fairy tales, buy-bull gawd lied. Neither Adam nor Eve died the day they ate the fruit. Spin as you wish, but a lie is a lie is a lie.

Let me save you some trouble:
"Their death was spiritual."
Bullshit. Buy-bull gawd didn't say "you will be dead to me" or "it will be as though you died." He said they'd die, that day.

"But, they did die!"
Yeah. Allegedly 900+ years later. Not exactly "in the day."

But, but, er.... Oh! I know. One day for GOD is like a thousand years! Ha! Gotcha!!!
Um, no. We're talking about a part of a book where the days were clearly defined as 24-hour periods. "And the evening and the morning were the XXX day."

The buy-bull is a collection of oral traditions and, at very best, second-hand accounts (more likely fourth-, fifth-, eighth- or even twenty-seventh-hand), written down by man. Nothing more, nothing less. There is nothing inerrant about it. In fact it is riddled with mistakes and contradictions.

Also, despite the fact that the first century CE is the best documented period in antiquity there is not one single contemporary account of jeebus. Not one

The authors of the buy-bull made gawd a liar in the first book. These words of men are no more true than any in the "Harry Potter" series. You could, with as much intellectual honesty as you're using now, bend your knee and pray to our savior Harry Potter whose coming was prophesied by Sybil Trelawny and who's actions fulfilled said prophesy. And, her's was much more specific than any buy-bull prophesy.

On another, but related note, it always amuses me when christers put limits on their omniscient, omnipotent invisible sky-fairy daddy figure. "God cannot lie." Why the fuck not?!? It's supposed to be all powerful. Why can't it do what so many humans do every day, most of the time without qualm?!? Hell, he didn't even put lying completely off the table. "Thou salt not bear false-witness against your neighbor" is a far cry for "Thou shalt not lie." So, Sky-Superman has limits? In some ways humans are more powerful?

Wow! That's one awesome gawd you pray to. Dodgy
