> The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
> “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
(After they ate the fruit)
>And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”
The serpent didn't lie. God didn't want humans to understand good and evil. He was afraid of humans becoming immortal too, and that's why he vanished from Eden.
Morality is a gift from the snake, not from God.
Do you know any book or essay that tries to vindicate the snake (without being Satanist bs)?
