Eternal punishment is pointless.

[Nope]

Well, Nope already provided some of the relevant lines. There are a few more:


They ate the fruit of the tree, their eyes were opened to reality, and god was angered/disappointed by this:

The scriptures do not say their eyes were open to reality, it does say their eyes were opened to evil, which by the way was not a reality in their world until they disobeyed God. Yes God was angered but not disappointed, He had every right to be.

Isn't Lucifer evil? According to the bible, Satan (an evil being) was allowed to roam the garden. That means that evil was in the garden and so evil was a reality in Adam and Eve's world. They might not have understood what evil was but if that is true, they were on the mental level of young children and shouldn't have been punished so severely. In fact, it was foolish of god to put the tree in the garden in the first place unless he wanted Adam and Eve to fail. God is a crappy, abusive parent.
