Kids disobey me constantly...and all joking aside....couldn't call them evil for it, or call that disobedience itself evil. Not even close.....I'm talking oceans of distance between that and evil.Especially when you onsider the truly evil things God commands the people to do in the Mosiac law. Slavery, genocide, mysogeny, prostitution. There's actually a clause in there showing fathers how to sell their daughters into sexual slavery (Exodus 21:7-11). To designate eating a fruit as evil punishable by death and eternal torment is...I don't even have the words for it.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
