[Urist Imiknorris]

YOU'RE GOD. YOU COULD MAKE SOME.

[KaguroDraven]

Not really, It's hard to influence other gods with my power, this included just makeing porn of them pop out of thin air.

[Urist is dead tome]

Original sin kindof makes a mockery of heaven and hell anyway.  Since you can get punished for something that you had nothing to do with...

Yeah, god is like, you can  do whatever you want, but for my sake do not eat that fruit! When Adam and eve eat it he jumps out from behind the  bushes and goes all "Ha! Gotcha!"

Well I guess you could say that Satan tricked them against the knowledge of God but that would mean that God is not all powerful...

I'm bad at this.

He's a jerk for putting the tree there in the first place.

You're too kind.

You're really running a joke that wasn't all that funny in the first place into the ground.

[Shade-o]

Two easily manipulated, completely naive humans, a forbidden tree of knowledge and power, and a serpent who exists only to trick people into disobeying God.

Why those last two were included in the first place is not very clear.

I've heard theories that the serpent was supposed to represent Marduk. To distance the burgeoning religion from its source. The most interesting part of that is that Marduk's symbol, the snake-dragon, is commonly depicted with legs. And in the story of the Fall, God later condemns the serpent to crawling on its belly, implying that it originally had some other form of movement.

The whole question of the origin of evil, and why it exists, is a problem for many religions. (Mine is not one of them )

So you're God of Rule 34?

I think I remember hearing that snake's have what appear to have once been legs. I don't know how truthful this is though.

I'm sorry but do your Gods do anything?

Well, technically due to pantheism, they cause everything that's ever happened that isn't a result of a choice of a sapient being (because almost anything a sapient being does is either good or bad, and the gods are neither, only nature and the gods are truly neutral) Sort of. I mean, it's more complicated than that, and I don't really care to explain my beliefs regarding it.

Some constrictors have remnants of a pelvic girdle (basically hips), but that's about it. They're very tiny, though; more or less certainly vestigial elements leftover from whatever their evolutionary ancestor was.

That just sounds as if you are attributing natural universal processes to a supernatural cause.

Not exactly, but kind of. It's part of the deal with pantheism (or at least the "version" that I believe) that there's no distinction between the natural and supernatural, that everything that could be described as supernatural is natural, etc. I mean, outside of non-sapient creatures, their interaction is pretty much purely supernatural (not going to go into it, don't ask), but yeah, that's where panentheism kind of comes in.

[Shade-o]

What sort of supernatural interactions are there?
