The main thing I took was this.:Before the Fall, only one act-the eating of one fruit-was considered wrong. Of all the fruits in Eden, why did Man let himself get drawn to the taboo one?

As I understand it, many religious people think that God controls everything and is responsible for everything in existence and every occurrence. If that’s the case, then isn’t it more like God is playing humans than humans are playing God? Everything “we do” would in a very real sense be something that “God did.” If that is your understanding of how God works, how could you ever accuse a person of “playing God”?
