Adam, Eve, God, and Lucifer

It’s been a while since I last posted and I have a special one to talk about this time.  Let’s talk about Adam & Eve.  Great story, it’s amazing how much it parallels several ancient Persian explanations for the different seasons but that’s not what I’m here to talk about today.  Let’s talk about Adam, Eve, Satan and God.

Let’s break this down step by step:

God (of the bible) supposedly created everything.  He even created Lucifer the most beautiful and most bad ass of the angels.  So Lucifer says to his angel buddies “Hey guys we don’t need this God dude side with me.”  Now if Lucifer was as awesome as he supposedly was I’m sure he would have the intelligence not to take on his creator.  BUT as the story goes he did.  So what does God do?  Oh he throws him down to Earth with all his buddies… Why?  You created the sniveling little bastard why not kill him?  Just twitch your eyelid (do you have eyelids?) and he is gone.  No more problem and peace on Earth will never be disrupted.  But that’s not how the story goes.  The story goes that Lucifer, now called Satan, is prowling around Earth just waiting to corrupt God’s chosen creation, humans.  Now I don’t know about you but if I created something that I really like I protect it.

So I’m sure God knew that Lucifer was up to this.  He’s God right?  So he should have known.  So right then he could have stabbed his failed creation with his pinky finger and all would be good.   Again he did nothing.  He’s starting to sound like a lazy bastard to me, but I digress. 

So Satan does his thing and convinces Adam and Eve to go against God’s will.  Well what happens here.  God throws a temper tantrum and says “Because you did not listen to me I’m condemning ALL humans, that I supposedly love, to death.  Shame shame on you Adam and Eve it’s all your fault that you destroyed everyone’s paradise.”  So let me ask you this.  If I go out and kill someone will you punish all my family with the death sentence?  Well that’s what God did.  Is this not absurd?
