OK, this is a serious question for all you religion scholars:
Why the hell did god put the tree in the garden of eden in the first place if he didn't want the people to eat from it (i.e., why tempt them--seems kinda strange/mean/malicious, no)?
On top of that, he made the man and woman (i.e., adam and eve) stupid so that they had really no choice but to give into the temptation of eating from the tree.
So what's up with that?
For the record, I have my answer to this question--I just wanna know what the bible people believe. Thanks in advance for any 'serious' answers.
