How exactly does disobedience to god cause thorns to grow, and make childbirth painful? All this was a curse Yahweh placed on the land because he was ticked off. Not something that just started happening because of disobedience.
Disobedience to Yahweh also didn't force him to kill an anaimal just to make clothes for Adam and Eve. He can poof animals into existence, but he has to slaughter one to get skins.
He killed the animal first and foremost as a sacrifice for their sin, then used the skin to cloth them. God cursed the creation because of the sin Adam and Eve committed. Sin is the reason for the curse and the curse is why the creation is corrupt. Sin started it off. He had a right to be ticked off, sin had entered His perfect creation because man misused the gift of free will.

I have never understood why plants and animals were cursed because two humans did something that annoyed bible god. The entire story makes no sense unless your god is like the serial killer, Jigsaw in the movie series, Saw
Supposedly, he put a magic, forbidden tree in a garden with two humans who were so innocent that they didn't really understand right from wrong. Then he let a being who apparently hated humans roam their world so they could be tempted. To believe the story actually happened and isn't just a metaphor means that bible god should be considered evil

Now you're own the right track. Scripture shows us this is true.

So you believe that your god will put a huge number of people in a place of eternal torture and still don't see your concept of god as evil?
