  It’s god’s fault everything went to shit

  You don’t build a big giant playground and then tell the kids, don’t eat this one cookie

  As soon you as you mention or point out the cookie, all the kids will think about is that one cookie and yes eventually, they will eat the damned thing … mainly because you told them not to eat it and that it is FORBIDDEN.

  God should have just placed all forbidden knowledge in a cabbage, placed it in a giant vegetable farm and told no one about it.

    Also doesn’t help when you allow a jerk to peer pressure.

    Depending on what kind of cabbage, I’d be at the Brassica of Brainpower in the first week or two 🤷

  Perhaps it would not have been a sin if the bitten apple would still dangle from the tree.

  The whole Garden of Eden story is fascinating. It was how ancient people told a story of why we’re different that animals. Hell, Genesis is a tale of solar/planetary formation. Let there be light! Solar ignition. If you squint hard enough, and allow a few bits to get mixed up, it gets evolution explained. Seriously! Read it. It’s short. And then there’s the next bit that tells it again, but mixed up a bit more. No shit. There are two origin stories in the same book. It’s a short book. Read it yourself.

  So Eve eats from “the fruit of the tree of knowledge”, all goes downhill from there. Consider; Man gets smarter. We’re not swinging from trees, eating fruits and the occasional monkey baby, times get hard, we get kicked out. Now we have to plow the land, invent agriculture and work at it. Our mothers suffer from having to birth these big-brained bastards. All curses from GOD for getting smarter.

  All in all, considering the ignorance of those folks, it’s a compelling origin story.
