Did the snake corrupt people with few simple words, or were they shitty to begin with?
>God >creates man>Creates tree of knowledge>Creates snake>Says to adam and eve don't eat from the tree>Snake comes and makes them eat the fruit>God is angry, curses the snakes and exiles man from the gardenLol, what the fuck was his problem?
>>17983569>makes them eat the fruitnot even close, the snake was just trolling
>>17983553It's a metaphor for the birth of human consciousness itself. Before you're sapio-sentient you exist in a state of nature with all the other animals, in harmony with the "Garden of Eden" but that changes once you begin to conceive of yourself and thereby become distinct from all the other animals (fall from state of nature / garden). This is why the fact Adam and Eve becoming aware of their nakedness tells God they're no longer the same as one of his beasts.
>>17983576this is something american literalists do not understand
>>17983553>thinking its a literal snake>thinking its a literal tree>thinking its a literal garden>thinking its a literal fruitNgmi
>>17983623>the things Christians believed to be literal less than 500 years ago are metaphors now because I can no longer defend them2 more weeks until christniggers inevitably decide the crucifixion itself was a metaphor.
>>179836322 more weeks until you can shove things up your ass againdon’t want the stitches to rip
>>17983632It's the opposite. Back then it was understood to be metaphorical. What it was a metaphor for though, that was not compatable with the doctrine changes they wanted, and so literalism was embraced to avoid that problem.
>So theLordGod said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursedare you above all livestockand all wild animals! You will crawl on your bellyand you will eat dustall the days of your life.So snakes used to have legs before?

>>17983718I thought evolution was antithesis to christcuckery.
>>17983867It is but the fact fossils of snakes with legs exist does point to where the authors of Genesis were coming from
>>17983576This guy gets it...language was the fall
>>17983576>>17983617This except it's about growing upThe garden of eden is childhood innocentThe snake is pubertyEating the fruit is growing and understanding that one day you will die.God is the parent, as in literally the father protecting the garden of childhood It's about growing up and losing childhood ignorance. It's not a literal description of the origin of humans. Humans evolved from monkeys (simplification but you know what I mean).>>17983646Snakes evolved from tetrapods like all reptiles and thus yes of course they did. They lost their legs and there are mutations that cause little crippled legs to grow, it's a mutation on the sonic hedgehog gene iirc>>17983981Evolution is a proved fact of reality. The writers of genesis would not have known about the snakes with legs.
>>17983981Those are called lizards asshole
I think the few simple words were enough to corrupt them. Humans have always been driven by a desire for more knowledge.
>>17983569>god tells them eating from the tree will kill them>snek tells them it wont>they eat it and dont die>god gets angry because he got caught with a brazen lie
>>17983553The snake just gave them an excuse.If a single smooth-talking reptile can dismantle your entire moral framework, you never had one to begin with.
