The snake (of the trouser variety) tempts Eve with the forbidden fruit (hanky panky) that she shares with Adam. The consequence of which is painful childbirth.

They’re even specifically stated to be naked for this situation.

      It isn’t rude to examine religious texts, myths, and traditions from an academic viewpoint, however.

          Well, how respectful were those religions to people of different religions/believes?

          They burned Atheists for fun back in the day.

          I’d agree to disagree, but no. Ridiculous beliefs should be ridiculed. Additionally, no one is making fun of or even making light of religion here.

          No it isn’t part of the story of creation.

          No it isn’t rude.

          I only show respect to respectable beliefs. If someone thinks someone else deserves to die because Sky Daddy says they did a bad thing, I’m making fun of them because they’re a contemptable moron, not a paragon of wisdom.

      The Bible is a religious text for a religion with a history of doing really bad things and many people who are currently leading said religion are still doing really bad things. Idgaf if I’m rude to bad people.
