The Year in Videos
Cloverfield (2008; Holy crap, this was good. Would be a great double-header with The Host.); Communion (1989; Didn't work for me. Walken an odd choice, and it was more humorous than tense.); The 400 Blows (Criterion Spine #4) (1959; Truffaut's first feature; I'm looking forward to the Antoine Doinel followups.); Silent Rage (1982; Great beginning and Norris-appreciation, but slow and meandering ending.); Dakota Bound (2001; An actual plot, good cheesy action scenes, and lesbians. Amazingly good.);
The Year in Books
Spectrum 14: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art (My first exposure was quite pleasing.); Halo and Sprocket Volume 2 (Woohoo, new H&S! /me swoons.); Monster Zoo (Didn't really like. "Ok" but forgettable.); The Umbrella Academy Volume 1 (Surprising - much better than I hoped.); The Eternals (Eh. Wasn't horrific. "As expected", perhaps.);
"Actually it was the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. I guess the subtext there would be that all the suffering you have is because you think you can determine what is good and what is evil."
Actually, I find the subtext to be that your god is no more "mature" than a child with a magnifying glass burning ants. He creates man without the ability to discern the difference between good and evil and then punishes not only Adam and Eve, but everyone to follow for doing "evil". Um, if they didn't know the difference between good and evil, they didn't know it was wrong to eat from the tree, even though god told them not to. Without the knowledge that was granted by the tree, they wouldn't know it was wrong to disobey the god and eat from it. Worse yet, your god is supposed to be all knowing, so he should've known Eve would snag an apple against his wishes. So, by placing the tree in there, he was preordaining mankind to punishment. And, since your god had knowledge of good and evil in advance, that makes him evil by every definition of the word (well, the mass infanticide is usually a good indicator of evil, but you dingleberries often need other examples.)
Now you can try to play this off with the rhetorical "you can't understand god's plan" bull, but sorry it don't fly. If it don't make sense, that means it's a lie. Period.
