You go! I feel the same way. A simple reading of Genesis makes it clear. God lies and the snake tells them the truth.

God gets mad not because they disobeyed but because they became like him.

I have been told on many occasions, by my christian friends, that you need to read the bits in the new testatement about God being all good and all loving to know that he couldn't possibly have lied and there must be some other explanation.

Yikes -

@thone2008 Check out the Sumerian, Order of the Serpent aka Brotherhood of the Snake. The story of Adam and Eve is directly derived from this story.

In the Sumerian Myth, mankind was not to have the knowledge of the gods until a member of the brotherhood defies the gods and gives it to the humans.

In Adam and Eve, they were talked into eating from the tree of knowledge by a serpent.

@JaysLogic

It was not a snake it was "Nachash" (Pagan Deity) derived from "Prometheus" whom tempted the first woman in Greek First Man-Woman Myth.

Throughout, they filter the Pagan gods out.

Actually the word Satan doesn't appear in Genesis at all!

The word in Genesis 3 is Serpent which in Hebrew means a Snake!

The idea that it was Satan is Christian bullshit.

It was a talking Snake. Not Satan.

But the Snake was the honest one and the God the liar.

@thone2008 I was hoping I wasn't the only one that caught that. It wasn't the Devil, it was just a snake.

@lilitheye -I was wrong I repent of my comment. God gave Adam and Eve a choose to obey him or to reject him and they experienced the consequences of rejecting him. Abraham was illustrating the sacrfice of Jesus the son of God. It's typology. Abraham's son for God's son. Abraham has faith that if God allowed him to do so he would raise him up showing how much faith he had in God.

2) God saw the wife of Adam, Eve was fair, God wanted to take her for himself. So he transformed himself as a serpent to tempt Eve with the forbidden fruit. He wanted to share the fruit with Eve since he likes her but he did not want to share with Adam. so when Adam got the favor from Eve to access the fruit, God got really angry for 1) Adam disobeyed his order, for 2) God got jealous that Eve shared her love evenly with both God and Adam.

@MrEmeraldfusion You got a good one, i am thinking there are 2 possibilities:

1) God test Adam and Eve by transforming into a snake, tempted them into a sin so he could expel them out of his place because he got tired of babysitting a couple who lived on him. God is good at that kind of tricking stuff to test ppl, remember he test Abraham once of sacrificing his son?

Satan never appeared in Genesis

Epic Fail

true enough who is the lesser of two evils....the deffinition of the word demon today is not the same definition as in greek mythology....who has confused our language and why....the story of the tower of babylon tells that god did....
