[–] firelight@startrek.website 1 point 5 months ago (1 child) The Jewish interpretation is that Eve 'knew' God wanted Adam to the eat the apple, so she tempted him with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXxZ7RMHt4g permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] osanna@lemmy.vg 3 points 5 months ago (2 children) what a disgusting god. People actually believe this shit? God WANTED his creations to be kicked out of paradise? Holy fuck, and people say he is "all loving". JFC. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 point 5 months ago The old reverse psychology and It's all part of the plan bit. maybe I would do it and claim its a test to see if what i created are capable of thoughts outside my commands so they can be used for the next phase but im not all knowing. sooo it was all a waste of time for eve and them? Maybe. The only justification I could think of is actually the garden is a incubation area and god needed a reason to kick them out for phase 2 and guilting them while giving them the intelligence to survive was the only option viable for the "long term plan". Like some kind of wierd motivation to stay alive. Still feels like a jerk move no matter how you slice it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 1 point 4 months ago I had never heard that interpretation but it basically sounds sort of like the premise for The Good Place permalink fedilink source parent
