So before the fall people could just go around murdering each other and not know it was wrong?
Surely eating the fruit was a good thing then?
God knew all this would happen when he decided to make a talking snake surely?
Why put the tree there? It's like putting a cake in front of your kids with 100% certainty they will eat it, then condemning them to misery for it.


It makes no sense whatsoever allegorical or not, apart form demonstrating God as a cruel idiot.
