Cite please. I don't recall the story specifying Eden.

My apologies, I was mistaken. It's not in the Bible, it was in a series of books I read long ago called The Bible Story where I read that (which is based on the Holy Scriptures, but is not actually the Scriptures).

Well that's because as a godless atheist, you don't have the extra special super duper power of interpretation given to all the true followers of the Risen Lord Jesus.

Well, yeah, but to be fair, my interlocutor did come clean.

Dude, just enjoy a piece of pie - apple, cherry, peach, key lime, pecan, pumpkin, etc. Its just a piece of pie. Get over yourself and your "I'm so much more holy that the rest of you because I abstain from tasty foods" and just tap your foot to a good song now and then. Live in the world that we know actually exists and enjoy the fruits of its trees. Some make excellent pies.

LOL The forbidden fruit wasn't an apple, it was meat.

I have a personal relationship with the creator of the universe so I asked the question. I got a reply: "Apple pie is awesome. Why do you think I made cinnamon, and nutmeg, and ice cream, and stuff? Now excuse me, I'm watching a few thousand children die of starvation while helping believers find their car keys and convenient parking spaces." Then there was something garbled (a big truck went by) and "...I don't like to be tested..." and "...I shall not be docked..." but don't quote me on the last part.

I don't think those figures of speech mean what you think they mean.

A bad apple is someone who is not good, that is, someone who is bad, such a corrupt politician.

And "apple of my eye" doesn't necessarily mean lust. I would say that my daughter is the apple of my eye in that I have affection for her. I certainly don't have lustful feelings towards her!

An apple a day keeps the doctor away is speaking of the benefits of a healthy diet. It's not telling you to stuff your face with apples.

The bible calls this forbidden fruit "the fruit of the tree".

This is what it says:
The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.”
Genesis 2:15-17

When you eat meat it starts a chemical process of death in the body.

Elevations of hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) predict the development of serious illnesses, including cardiovascular disease.

So, did they die that day? Did "The Lord God" say that you shall die spiritually that day?

Wow, it seems that you are from Israel and I have to assume that English is not your first language. I guess you wrote your thoughts and then used an on-line translator.

I mean:
Russia avenging Hiroshima civilians to US of Sodom and Gomorrah - for false christians "arrive like a thief" in hypersonic plasma too
English is my first language, and I have not the first idea of what your point might be even for this first sentence. Perhaps you can clarify what you are trying to say.

The rest of your post just sounds like a fever dream and I just can't take any of it seriously. Perhaps you are in need of serious help with your mental health - I really hope that you get the help that you obviously need.

All the best...

Everything that you eat starts a chemical process in your body. Are you saying that there is a special "death" process if you eat meat? Is there a special "not death" process if you don't eat meat? Are vegetarians only dying from accidents and not natural causes? I'm curious.

Thanks for the prompt reply, but what are you talking about? I don't understand what you are trying to tell me / us. Slow down and state your claim in clear thoughts.

Plants and fruit starts a healing process in the body. Meat is the only food that affects the body negatively leading to illness and death.
People die now because of the sin nature. The deed is done now. The process of physical death has been passed down now from Adam & Eve.


And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.”
Genesis 1:29
He created mankind to eat plants and fruit only.

You should watch The Game Changers on Netflix it explains a lot. Especially the part about how meat affects men. Before you’re ready to be intimate with your wife you might want to eat a salad instead of a hamburger. You can see the scientific test right there in the movie. It shows what meat does to the body. Even the WHO classifies meat as carcinogenic.
