Define God

Nah, he understandably had to slap the primitive heathens around to gain their respect..

That also happens at sports events. Both teams pray; which side does god choose? Toss a coin.

“If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives.” Leviticus 20-13

"Slaves, male and female, you may indeed possess, provided you BUY them from among the neighboring nations. You may also BUY them from among the aliens who reside with you and from their children who are born and reared in your land. Such slaves YOU MAY OWN AS CHATTELS, and leave to your sons as their hereditary property, MAKING THEM PERPETUAL SLAVES. But you shall not lord it harshly over any of the Israelites, your kinsmen."
Leviticus 25:44ff

"If a man has a stubborn and unruly son who will not listen to
his father or mother, and will not obey them even though they
chastise him, his father and mother shall have him apprehended
and brought out to the elders at the gate of his home city, where
...his fellow citizens shall stone him to death."
Deuteronomy 22:18ff

"When you march up to attack a city, first offer terms of peace.
If it agrees to your terms of peace and opens its gates to you,
all the people to be found in it shall serve you in forced labor.
But if it refuses to make peace with you and instead offers you
battle, lay siege to it, and when the Lord, your God, delivers it
into your hand, put every male in it to the sword, but the women
and children and livestock and all else in it that is worth
plunder you may take as your booty and you may use this plunder
of your enemies which the Lord, your God, has given you."
Deuteronomy 20:10

"I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishments
for their fathers' wickedness on the children of those who hate
me, down to the third and fourth generation."
Deuteronomy 5:9

"Therefore, he who has any of the following defects may not come
forward: he who is blind, or lame, or who has any disfigurement
or malformation, or crippled foot or hand....he may not approach
the veil nor go up to the altar on account of these defects; he
shall not profane these things that are sacred to me, for it is
I, the Lord, who make them sacred."
Leviticus 21:18ff

They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
[2 Chronicles 15:12-13]

What a beauty this monster is!

"For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
[Matthew 15:4-7]"
What a beauty this monster is!

@Romeo Fabulini,
So, you're saying anybody can interpret the bible as they see fit - to meet their own comfort level. LOL

"Whoever believeth in me shall have everlasting life." Now, there's a phrase full of promises that nobody can confirm. Where does this mystical god reside? Everywhere? Nowhere?

The only logical conclusion is "no where."

No Neo, instinct doesn't cut it for this tale. I know you are fond of your supposition that Adam and Eve were created with a perfect conscience, but this tale makes it clear they were not. In this tale eating magical fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil was required to give the pair a functional conscience.

Skeeter, Frank, Romulans, Countrymen;
What makes a good athlete? He/she practices until the moves come automatically.
Like instinct.
A2d how does your conscience work?

Keep going . . . .

What part of automatically did I fail to communicate?

Is that like . . .

Instinct?

Eating an apple can't possibly be the "sin." If sex is the sin, then god made man in his own image with a penis. Where does god get his "sexual" satisfaction? If he doesn't require sex to have a son, why did he make man and woman require sex to have children?

Aging and death has to be the natural outcome of sex and procreation. This planet isn't big enough to survive the accumulation of animals (and man) on this limited resourced planet.

It's pretty well established that Moses compiled his writings in the 16th Century BC. Beyond this point, I must admit complete ignorance of whatever point you are trying to make.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torah
Today the majority of academic scholars accept the theory that the Torah does not have a single author, and that its composition took place over centuries.[20] From the late 19th century there was a general consensus around the documentary hypothesis, which suggests that the five books were created c. 450 BCE by combining four originally independent sources, known as the Jahwist, or J (c. 900 BCE), the Elohist, or E (c. 800 BCE), the Deuteronomist, or D, (c. 600 BCE), and the Priestly source, or P (c. 500 BCE).[21]

This general agreement began to break down in the late 1970s, and today there are many theories but no consensus, or even majority viewpoint.[22] Variations of the documentary hypothesis remain popular, especially in the United States of America and Israel, and the identification of distinctive Deuteronomistic and Priestly theologies and vocabularies remains widespread, but they are used to form new approaches suggesting that the books were combined gradually over time by the slow accumulation of "fragments" of text, or that a basic text was "supplemented" by later authors/editors.[23] At the same time there has been a tendency to bring the origins of the Pentateuch further forward in time, and the most recent proposals place it in 5th century BCE Judah under the Persian empire.[24][25]

Deuteronomy is often treated separately from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. The process of its formation probably took several hundred years, from the 8th to the 6th century BCE,[26] and its authors have been variously identified as prophetic circles (because the concerns of Deuteronomy mirror those of the prophets, especially Hosea), Levitical priestly circles (because it stresses the role of the Levites), and wisdom and scribal circles (because it esteems wisdom, and because the treaty-form in which it is written would be best known to scribes).[27] According to the Deuteronomistic history proposed by Martin Noth and widely accepted, Deuteronomy was a product of the court of Josiah [28] (late 7th century BCE) before being used as the introduction to a comprehensive history of Israel written in the early part of the 6th century BCE; later still it was detached from the history and used to round off the Pentateuch.[29]

The numbers who believe the character Superman as real today will eventually die down to zero rather than your way - in a couple of hundred years!

. . . In your opinion, what effect did eating the fruit have on Adam and Eve? By that I do NOT mean the consequences imposed upon them by the dude with the bad temper.
