Here is a beautifully succinct version of my issue with the Adam and Eve myth..
Before eating the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve either knew that disobeying God was evil or they didn’t.
If they didn’t, then they can’t be blamed for disobeying him.
If they did, then they already possessed the knowledge that God had forbidden.
Either way, God could not justly banish them from Eden.
Once the silliness of “Original Sin” is shown to be utterly untenable and self-refuting, thus the need for Jesus and his ‘sacrifice’ becomes meaningless and unnecessary, even in the context of the very same mythos.

I think they got kicked out for not following directions or short term memory loss.
God: Do not eat the fruit
A&E: Okay
God walks away.
Snake: Hey…eat the fruit.
E: Okay
Snake: Give some Adam, he’ll love it! It’s fruitylicious!
E: Okay
A: NOMNOMNOMNOM
God comes back
God: WTFDUDEZ?!
A&E: Huh?
G: Did I not tell you not to eat the fruit?
A: Oh Yeah…
G: Damn me, you’re so stupid, GTFO!
A&E: Okay.
So…if they were that stupid, wouldn’t God have known and just made them smarter starting out?

exactly.. God created ALL initial conditions, KNEW what they were going to do… and, in every real sense, MADE them TO do it.
and then he blames THEM for being the way HE created them.. lol.
God was either an idiot or criminally negligent. or both.
