A little philosophical thought I had about the book of genesis (That's the first book, right?)

So I was thinking this morning about the story of Adam and Eve, from the book of genesis. You know, the first book in the bible.

So, God created the tree of wisdom, but told A&E that if they ate from it, they'd die. Well, Lucifer, in the guise of a serpent (It infers that serpents used to have wings), told Eve that the tree wouldn't kill her, but instead make her smarter. So she and Adam ate the apple from the tree. And they became smart, and knew the difference between "Good" and "Evil", according to legend. Oh, and then Yahweh (God's name in the original Hebrew bible) punished the serpent by getting rid of its wings and making it crawl on the ground forever.

But anyways, this raises two questions from me:

One: The bible said the snake was lying and being deceitful, by tricking Eve. But if you think about it, the snake was telling the truth, and God was the one lying. God said that eating the apple would kill you, but serpent said that it will make you smart. Well, guess who was right. The serpent. Yes, he made them separate from God, but he told the truth. God lied. Think about that.

Two: Why the ever-loving fuck did God make that damn tree in the first place? If he didn't want them to eat from it, why make it? it seems redundant to make something you don't want used. It seems to me like he was bored, and wanted to make something dangerous for his own amusement. Like the story of Pandora's Box from Greek Mythology. The gods were bored, so they made the first woman, and gave her a box and told her to never open it. Well, of course she fucking opened it. And then all the "evil" was released into the world. Same with Adam and Eve. The first (well, second. Lilith was first. She just didn't want to be a slave to Adam, so she was demonized) woman was given something dangerous (in this case, an apple tree), and told never to use (eat) it. Well of course she fucking ate it. It seems that God knew this was going to happen.

Interesting note, both the bible and Greek Mythology (and Aztec) tell of an apocalyptic flood, where humanity survived by having one family of people, with a shit-ton of animals, build a huge ass boat and sail on the rain water.

Well, that's all for now.
