Fig

3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

I know, you've always been taught that God is good, so he must be honest, so you were figuring that he was telling the truth and the serpent was lying.  So, you figured this verse would say "And the mouths of them both were opened, and they knew that they were coughing up blood; and they convulsed on the ground together, and made themselves dead."  Or something like that.

But the serpent was telling the truth: their eyes were opened, and they knew right from wrong, at least as the author's culture saw it, with the whole nudity=bad thing.  They also quickly figured out how to sew.  And no one fell over dead that day, as God said they surely would.

Let's just suppose for a minute that God, who we know lies, isn't necessarily good.  Then we can ask these question: if it's wrong for people to be naked, why did he put naked people in the garden?  And if the fruit was just symbolic of coming of age, what sort of Lord locks a couple of naked children in a walled garden?  And if the serpent was aware of this, was he not helping the children?  And if the third chapter of the first book of the Bible suggests that God is some lying pervert, why is nobody aware of it?
