Why does god demand total loyalty from creatures he created in the first place?
It's almost like its a story to explain temptation to do bad things and the consequences of it that got blown into everyone being born a sinner and "needing" the church to "cleanse" them or they'd burn for eternity.
God: "Here's free will."
Adam: "What's free will?"
God: "You can do anything you choose to do."
Adam: "Can I eat this?"
God: "No."
Adam: "But, you said I can do whatever I choose."
God: "I know what I said."
Adam: "Then why can't I eat this?"
God: "Because I said so, that's why. Look, you have free will as long as you do what I say because I really want you to obey and ignore that crap I said about free will. And don't let me catch you using it. 'Cause if I do there will be hell to pay. You can do anything you want as as long as what you want to do is what I tell you to do. Capice?"
Serpent: "Hold my beer."
