Context: I sometimes hear the argument that god explicitly told Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit, the same way a parent tells its child not to stick things or touch electrical outlets. So god forcing the two of them to have children and dooming every human ever since is perfectly justified.

God put the snake there, the same way my friend's dad put the porn stash in the top cupboard and told us not to play around there.

That's the funny thing. Christian tradition coopted a story to talk about an omnipotent god. But the story was originally envisioned in a context of polytheism. Originally the snake, devil, whatever, could've been any of the other supernatural entities of tribal superstition. And god wasn't omnipotent, only a creator of these people's, but no more powerful than Greek or Roman gods were.
