Garden of Eden was a setup...

There didn't need to be an absence of good. Everything could have been good.

Give this God the accountability he deserves.

Just because a few historical things in the bible happen to be vaguely true, that doesn't mean the rest of it is true. Spider-Man is from New York right? And New York exists? So the story has it right? So spider man exists.

If you make ridiculous standards, you have to live with accepting consequences like that. Unless of course you use special pleading, that your case is just somehow different.

I'm very familiar with the bible and it's the stupidest, sickest, most ridiculous load of made up crap I've ever heard. It's caused more confusion and bloodshed than any other book. Sorry but it's shit. It is not magic.
