Blind faith and devotion to God and his word...he tells you not to listen to the snake, don't eat the apple, Adam and Eve eat the apple, and God banned them from the garden of Eden and gave them a hard life.[/b][/quote]Can you elaborate that some further.

Because we're all unique, not all 6,550,000,000 humans are the same. There are different kinds of religions and religious books with all their unique content and nuances, and you can choose the one that satisfies you most.

You clearly don't understand the story, nor do you understand the teachings of any faith, the lessons behind so many biblical events. Instead of trying so hard to instigate debate, you should go check with a theologian or two. You might just learn something.
