By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Matthew 7:16" "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. (Luke 6:43) "Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers." (Luke 6:44) -As compared to the "trees" in the "garden" in the Adam and Eve story- "The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground--trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." (Genesis 2:9) -So now we see the "tree of life", which is Christ, in the "garden" in the Adam and Eve story of Genesis. -So... the tree of life is Christ, the fruit is not actual food but spiritual, and eating is not literal but spiritual.

Let's examine what Christians believe. God made earth in 6 days, has a rest on the 7th and then continued zooming around the cosmos. At some point he decided to create a pleasant garden on planet earth. Then Adam appeared in this paradise when he was around the age of 40. He didn't question or wonder from where he came nor how the hell he got there. No, he just wandered around in a state of quiet contentment in the tranquility of the Garden of Eden. Noticing Adam's contented state God decided to create a woman companion, Eve.!!!!!! So the master of the universe sneaked down from the heavens in the dead of night and 'STOLE' one of Adam's ribs from which he made Eve. Adam didn't query Eve's sudden appearance nor did either of them seem to notice the difference in their anatomy. Then God visited Eve and told her she could eat from any fruit in the garden except the apple tree. I mean was/is God completely stupid?, telling a female what she cannot eat and then pointing the source of the forbidden fruit? God had no sooner left the garden when a snake appeared. This frightening reptile started to talk to Eve. Now, I don't know about you, but if I see a snake I back off. If it starts talking to me I shit myself and take off like a greyhound out of the traps. But not our intrepid Eve, who listens and yields to the serpent's enticing suggestion that she gobbles a few apples, golden delicious? After her apple binge Eve becomes ashamed of certain parts of her body, i.e, her tits and mantovani = fanny. Why those parts? Why not her nose and ears? Anyway, Adam and Eve then committed the deadly sin of screwing each other stupid and starting a family which has developed into the whole miserable mess we're all in now. Now, that is in the book upon which witnesses in a court of law swear;- ''TO TELL THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. Roars of sidesplitting hysterical laughter from the back stalls.

No, he just wandered around in a state of quiet contentment in the tranquility of the Garden of Eden This is nowhere in the Bible. I'll give you minus points for a bad attempt though. Side: Allegory

Are you watching Atheists? This is the foundation Atheism is founded on. Side: Allegory
