Ah, but you see, Eve wouldn't have known that it was freaky to have a snake talk to you until after eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge. And god put the tree of knowledge in the garden to test Adam and Eve, and to test out this new fangled contraption called free will. the argument is that its the human thirst for knowledge that fucked us all up, and God only thought he was being nice by giving us free will (to differentiate man from animal) to choose what to do with that soon-to-be ill gotten knowledge. Christians (well, some of them) will argue that creation was and still is perfect, because all you have to do know is ask for God's forgiveness and you'll be atoned and get into heaven.
I cant believe i spent four years of my life teaching people this
Luckily, all of my sunday school students flunked out, and most of them are mopey wee goths now.
