At some point, one of y'all is going to have to admit that the story doesn't actually make any sense, instead of reinterpreting it again to make yourselves feel comfy.
Then your god is a vengeful, evil monster, unworthy of worship
Im describing it purely from "as a story" concept.
The punishment is being a creature with free will on earth and the ability to comptemplatr shame for moral decisions (because we can fail).
At least at this point of the story
No, the punishment was increased pain, hardship, expulsion from the garden of Eden, and mortality.
Have you even read the book? From an "as a story" concept, whatever that means?
That is the same thing from a different perspective is what i am saying
I think it means a story instead of as a historically accurate document of fact.
Because as a story theres lots of lessons we can draw from it, and interpret in many ways like literature enthusiasts do.
As a historical document holy fuck help me satan
Exactly.
