Genesis 2 & 3

Genesis 2 & 3

At the end of chapter 3 in the Genesis story, Adam and Eve get kicked out. I blame Lord God for this because he decided to kick them out. At the same time, I blame Adam and Eve for being kicked out because they didn't listen to God. If they listened to God and not have eaten from the tree in the middle of the Garden of Eden, they would be living in the Garden and not have so many troubles for themselves or for other living creatures. Since Adam and Eve both ate from the tree, they both got punished. Eve had to suffer child birth along with all the other mothers until nobody else is left on Earth. Adam was punished by having the ground being cursed. The serpent, also known as the talking snake from the tree that made Adam and Eve eat from the tree, is cursed also. His punishment is him and all other animals having to crawl on their stomachs and eat dirt for the rest of eternity. God is right and wrong in this situation and so are Adam and Eve. The serpent is 100% wrong in this situation by influencing Adam and Eve to eat the fruit from the tree. God is right in punishing the bad characters because they did what they weren't supposed to do, but God is wrong too because it's not Adam and Eve's fault for eating the fruit because they were told it would make them healthy and the snake convinced them. Adam and Eve are right because they didn't know the snake was lying to them by him saying the fruit is good for them. They are also both wrong because God told them in the first place not to eat fruit from the tree because it would kill them, and they did anyways. Instead of having all the characters who deserve dying die, he punished them with bad punishments and punished future human beings because of Adam and Eve's actions.
