this is all about something Eve did, not something that Eve is.
Except the first sentence applies to all mothers who ever were. It is literally about what women are. Mr Omnipotent couldn’t figure out how to punish Eve without punishing all her daughters throughout all eternity? The mental acrobatics required to not interpret that verse as a call to sexism are olympics-level.
I don’t actually have a vested interest in doing the mental gymnastics either way. But I do find it fascinating how deeply knowledgeable and creative some people get in order to pretend that the Bible is actually woke lmao.

Exactly. So much bizarre, convoluted shit in the Bible (including the entire scheme of sending himself to earth as a human to become a sacrifice for the sins of mankind. Sin, and the idea of sacrifice to clean it, are themselves a concept entirely invented by god, but whatever) makes no sense in the context of an omnipotent god.
Just do the fucking thing.
He loves me, but he doomed me from birth to spend an eternity in torture? Sounds like an abusive relationship to me.
