But that still misses THE point - if God was omniscient he would have known that the snake would tempt Eve, and that Eve would give in, before he created either of them. If he was omnipotent, and he wanted a different result, he would have created them differently. In sum, I think that God needs to quit blaming US for HIS fuckups, and get off his big, fat ASS and TAKE SOME RESPONSIBLITY for his creation. I'm tired of people blaming demons, Eve, lonelyguy, etc., for things that are well within this God character's control, and that he should have thought about before he started this whole mess. If the truth be told, that whole Adam and Eve myth is really meant to preach the "virtue" of ignorance - the snake tempted eve by telling her that god didn't want her to eat it, for that would give her KNOWLEDGE . . . the subliminal message, of course, is don't think too much, shut out conflicting messages, and DO WHAT YOU ARE TOLD, GOD DAMN IT!!! "Atheism: The Case Against God" by George Smith does a much more thorough debunking than I have time for here . . . Orale, Kendricks
