I mean, the whole fable is a logical disaster. If you really believe the story then death is a great thing because you get eternal life in heaven; under the biblical schematic death is effectively irrelevant because you persist forever regardless. So eating of the tree was a good thing, really, because heaven is the best place ever and if you could not die you could not get to heaven. Therefore, Satan is really the first savior.
- krapp 4y agoWell yes, the whole thing is ridiculous. I'm just saying that if your metric for good and evil is body count, the entity who basically tricked humans into dying to begin with still comes off worse. Also (according to Christian doctrine,) the default destination for human souls is Hell, not Heaven, because original sin is immutable. The vast, vast majority of humanity will wind up burning in Hell for eternity, including many Christians. Again, except for a few people God just decided to let in because he liked them.
