The problem with the fruit of knowledge is that it gives us the ability to sin as we have the knowledge of what’s right and wrong. It’s not something that needs to be taught to us.
It’s not selective justice, everyone gets punished. For a deity not bound by time, our concept of time doesn’t matter.
The accounts of Jesus are within the 30 years, nowhere near 600. Which is very early compared to figures like Alexander the Great who has an 800 year gap for his accounts which are seen as historical fact.
The discarded books came around 100 years later and are all gnostic heresy, are very inconsistent, even a few of them promote other books made by the same forger. They are very clearly forged. Here’s a video for more detail
If an all powerful being would snap his fingers and forgive every sin, then there’s literally no justice.
As for Yahweh being a god of war or in a pantheon, there are simply no ancient texts that ascribe to such. It’s just an alternative theory on what could have happened if you first discard the Biblical narrative and carries absolutely zero backing whatsoever.
It’s inconsistent to reason that you’d discard the evidence for Jesus which are carried in ancient texts, yet immediately jump onto a theory which has zero evidence to actually back it up.

If one knows what is right and wrong then one would know what is sin. Ergo, one would avoid committing sin since the person knows the difference, yes? Then why does Yahweh denied such knowledge to people, but instead letting them constantly making sins micromanaging them? The last paragraph is key here because a benevolent god would not create and his/her subjects constantly committing egregious errors. Christians constantly states Yahweh gave human free will and thus. For there truly be free will, then Yahweh should grant humans knowledge to make choices, because one cannot have free will without being informed and thinking for themselves. Denying humans the ability to know does not make them possess “free will”, it makes them controlled.
Therefore, this reinforces the original position that religion is the surrender of agency and freethinking, leading to unquestionable obedience and submission to authority. Akin to supporting segregation, yes? Just because it’s the rules, would you agree? Those Germans who committed to murdering Jews were only following orders, yes?
Yahweh is a war/storm god out of the pantheon of other polytheistic Canaanite religions.1 2.
