Which makes no sense since you'd know that God is almighty and that you cannot lie to him.

Same thing goes to Adam and Eve, by the way.

That's what I said to my mom, so she knocked my head with her Bible

That a major problem with religion, that they are open to intepreation and from reading 'holy books' people form their own intepretations and some try to impose them on others. Disagreeing with such people (whilst not necessarily there God) is then seen a blasphemy and leads to the sort of conflicts that can be seen in many countries around the world and the multiple schisms with religions.

Reinforces my view that religion is simply tool certain groups use to manipulate people in order to control populations.
