So for school I had to read all of Genesis and one of the issues that came out of reading Genesis was that Eve seduced Adam into eating the apple.
My Thoughts:
So God told Adam and Eve that they are allowed to eat from any of the trees and plants except for a certain tree. The tree of good and evil. Or knowledge or whatever you want to call it. He says that if they eat from the tree they will die
So Eve is convinced to eat from the tree by a snake. So then she realizes the difference between good and evil and that now she is going to die.
Now what would you do?
Would you
A. Nothing, Die alone
B. Feed the fruit to the only other person you know, Adam, so that you will not die alone.
If I was Eve I'd be so scared. I know that now God will make sure that I die. I wouldn't want to live alone forever and then die!
And most people wouldn't
So I say it's not Eve's fault that she fed Adam the fruit.

Let's Talk God
To me there are three theorys:
1) God is supposed to be all powerful right? Then why doesn't he help his people? If God was a nice and moral being then we wouldn't have killers and rapists. Aka... he is a kid with an ant farm (wow that was cliche). If there is a God, S/He doesn't care about the well being of His people. He has completely lost faith in us and/or He isn't a good God.
2) There is a God but he is not all powerful therefore cannot help his people. He is loving and kind etc. If God is real this is the God I'd want to believe in.
3) He doesn't exist. How do we know if the (what were they disciples?) men that wrote the bible, supposedly from God's voice or whatever, didn't misinterpret something or made the whole thing up?
