    Implying the apple is the forbidden fruit from the book of Genesis is a common misconception. The apple is just a modern day fruit adapted by generations of farming for the sake of larger produce.

    • God: Don’t eat this delicious-looking thing right in the middle of the garden I made for you! Don’t even ask why.

    • Lucifer: you should try this fruit, Eve!

    • Eve and then Adam eat of the fruit and thus go from automatically obedient automatons to persons with knowledge about themselves and the world

    • God punishes Lucifer and Eve

    • The old men in charge of the church call Lucifer the ultimate evil and oppress women

    Who’s REALLY the villain here? 🤔

    Its like Eve knew what she’s doing there. She asked herself and did the first self discussion before a god decided that something like that can exist lol
