God made us on his image. That doesn't mean shape of a head or teeth but capability to seek for justice, harmony, and above all to use a free will he gave us. That free will was also given to Adam and Eve. They use it as they did, and now we are where we are.
What if I like where I am?
And I do like Adam and Eve. I like their hunger for knowledge. I like their willingness to take risks. I like their initiative. I like people who get naked. Well, usually.
The blame game they went though after their snack isn't their best moment, true. But they were new at this. You can't expect people to be experts in accepting responsibility the first time they are called upon to do it.
And it
was a setup. God left two innocents alone in a garden with a talking snake after doing everything he could to call attention to a tree that, if he hadn't metioned anything, they'd have likely passed unnoticed. He did everything but hang a neon sign on that thing saying EAT ME.
God should find their actions easy enough to forgive. I would.
