[size=small][color=black]wait a tick.. They were allowed to eat from any tree but the tree of knowledge, the tree of life was fair game. What makes you think they haven't yet already eaten from that tree? God said the day you eat from the tree of knowledge they would die. Who's to say they didn't that day? in that their immortality die. lest the eat from that tree again..

I didn't look at the name of the OP until half way down the thread then realized we have another Lil Rick and Mystic Knight; is InteresedUser somehow related to either or both of them?

I like the word "Revellion" ! Sounds fun, whatever it is. There is "Reveillon" which is also fun.  Maybe "Revellion" is a hybrid of rebellion and reveillion. Let's make it so and have one hell of a holiday. A day or a week of food and fun celebrating reason and independence from deities. Revellion anyone?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
