Genesis 3

It looks like we don't have to watch the movie The Invention of Lying because we just found out. The serpent created lying in the third chapter of Genesis when he was convincing Eve to eat from the tree. It did not take much to convince Eve that God was wrong when he told her not to eat from the tree, I'm just saying. Adam didn't either. He just watches Eve eat from it without trying to talk some sense into her and then when she tells him to eat some too, he was a little bitch and did what he was told. That should say something about the power that women have over men...even when GOD tells you not to do something, if your woman tells you to do that exact same thing, you do it immediately. This is interesting because I'm pretty sure that God is supposed to be the creator of the heavens and the earth....what an idiot. This should say something about the stupidity of the human race. Even the very first members of it, the ones that populated this rock, couldn't follow one direction.
Eating this one piece of fruit fucked things up for all of us because by eating this fruit, they realized they were actually naked....WTF??
Aside: I wonder if the tree of the knowledge of good and evil actually held the knowledge of good and evil? If this is so, then there were no morals before they ate that fruit. That's the reason that its ok for them to walk around naked. Before this, nudity was ok. This is what gave nudity its wrongness. I wonder if they were covered from head to toe after they realized nudity was wrong. I say this because in different cultures and different parts of the world, different things qualify to be covered up. In africa, there are ladies walking around with their tits all out all the time. So it seems like adam and eve would have to cover themselves almost entirely to compensate for that fact.

If this tree holds knowledge, then why would God want to deprive these humans that he created from it? It would seem that if you were going to create a conscious being and give that being the ability to think freely, it would be cruel to deprive him of any knowledge. Maybe it was for a good reason…I don’t know.
Immediately, the humans start blaming other people/serpents for their fuck-ups…typical humans.
The two punishments god gave women seem a little outdated…1.) Pains during childbirth. Well, we nipped that in the bud with the advent of anesthesia. 2.) The insubordination of women below men. The nineteenth amendment and women’s rights activists have pretty much knocked that one into ineffectiveness too.
Adam’s punishment indicates farming for the earliest humans. The earliest humans were documented hunter gatherers. Farming is a relatively new thing.
