Were we meant to question God from the very first day?
We all know what you're looking for. You want someone to tell you, "no, we aren't supposed to question God. We are supposed to accept every puerile idea we have about Him on a basis of pure blind faith. We are meant to do this because, in all honesty, it's the easiest way to do it, requires the least amount of effort, and backs up ever crazy-ass thing we do with plenty of excuses and blame-positing."
Is it significant that the serpent was allowed to ask the first question?
But really, now, climb out of your silliness chair. You've said it yourself many times, that these words of Genesis are merely stories. Now, granted you were just reciting what everyone else had been telling you in an attempt to make yourself appear insightful, but perhaps you could also take your own repetition to heart and not try to put so much weight on these stories.
Unless we are to read the deeper meaning of books like the Odyssey and assume we are always to take the scenic route home.
In other words, was the entire scenario meant to happen?
If saying yes will get you to finally throw out your inane impressions of God and start questioning the nature of what you believe, then indeed it was all planned from the get-go.
