As I said, it's not a mistake, it to test us, to be sure we're following His edicts to love one another and judge not.
Of course to the false "believer," hating and judging has become second nature and their "Christian" lives are the deepest blasphemy.
But to a decent person who's already beginning to question the false doctrine in which they've been raised, it opens a chink in the wall.
Why does God need to test us? Doesn't he already know whether or not we'd pass?
I don't disagree with you myself, but remember the apple? According to Godologists that was just the first of thousands of tests, including your impure thoughts last week. It's kinda his thing. So I see no problem using it to get through to them.
Wasn't even an apple. It was literally "the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
So, basically, before eating that fruit, Eve could not have possibly known right from wrong. So how is it her fault?
Why would god make that tree in the first place? Why would he make that tree, and then insert it into his perfect paradise? Why would he make the tree, insert it into his perfect paradise, but then forbid the humans from eating the fruit, and thus gaining the understanding of good and evil? Why wouldn't he want humans to have that knowledge? Why would he allow the serpent (who never told Eve to eat the fruit, btw, he just said it was something that was possible for her to do) to exist there in the first place?
And lastly, if he's all-knowing, why the fuck would he be surprised by any of this?
While you're at it, why should He have any problem with trans people in the first place? Who are we to say He doesn't intend the full variety of sexes and genders, just as He seems to enjoy making an infinite variety of species, including about a million species of beetles?
He's not surprised. Just disappointed, in the small-mindedness of people. Or maybe that's just me who's disappointed. He's probably busy playing with His friends on Planet Beetle.
You're gonna have to give me a good reason to believe it exists in the first place before I'd ever consider it being "busy," even as a joke.
Because "god works in mysterious ways."
That's the most you'll ever get.
