When the serpent comes a'tempting, Adam meekly acquiesces without a single word of protest. Then, when God calls them out, the first thing Adam does is point the finger at his wife.
In other words, Adam is nothing but a spineless coward. And he's the one God places in charge.
Which is all beside the point, because Genesis 3 is nothing but God deliberately entrapping these two ignorant children. He punishes them for committing a sin, even though they had no idea what good or evil was. The act for which they were punished was learning that it is wrong to disobey God. To punish people for something they literally cannot know is wrong is not just injustice, but perhaps the very worst sort of injustice imaginable.
And we're supposed to believe that God's judgement is infallible. Anybody who insists that it is can just gtfo, seriously.
Well put and accurate.
I hope you take your message to where there are more theists.
I see that as our duty to correct each other and theists need much correcting, and if we do not do it, the evil that religions are will increase.
