Didn't God put them in a place where there was literally no hardship?
What an asshole.
God was a
passive aggressive asshole. Deliberately puts them in a perfect place, but puts this huge tree covered in the
best fruit ever right in the middle of the place and says not to touch the fruit, while the snake he created is telling them something else. Then God acts all
surprised at the outcome, which he clearly knew would happen before he even started. God was the creator, if man was flawed and therefore was destined to eat the fruit, then that's
God's fault since he's the all-powerful and all-knowing creator. Only a poor workman blames his tools.
God then proceeds to rub it in our faces, for eternity. Showing someone perfection then snatching it away so you can never be satisfied with anything else
is being an asshole.
If God was human, he'd be passive aggressive, an emotional manipulator and a narcissist. "Oh no you ate the fruit, you've
betrayed me (all according to plan heheheh). Now suffer for eternity, and it's
all your fault, not mine". Considering that this guy concocted the whole scenario and knew beforehand what was going to happen, he's a true "class act".
With the way he's shown to carry on in the Bible, he's also a schizophrenic, sociopathic psychopath considering some of the random shit he pulls later.
