Scene with Jesus on the cross. A MAGA person wearing a thin blue line flag shirt pointing at Jesus saying “He should have just obeyed the law!”

Right, but God could have just not created him in the first place. The entire plan to send himself to earth as a human is insanely convoluted and makes no sense when you're literally all powerful.

God works in mysterious ways, amiright?

Yeah exactly, the ultimate cop out response haha

Well, that's why I look at it solely from a literary perspective. The whole idea of creating mankind, while knowing the whole future of everyone who will ever exist, and then punishing humanity because one of the very first people created failed to obey his rules, something God knew they would do, is simply absurd. But as a story it's interesting.

The whole premise of the God in the Bible makes little sense. To quote Epicurus:

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

Omnipotence, Omniscience, Benevolence. Choose any two.

Sure, but there are tons of interesting stories. I'm not going to base my life on any of them

Oh, I didn't mean to suggest one should. I fully agree with you. I was just discussing the text.
