Not meaning to be offensive to anyone, although really if you get offended by this post you sat down wrong on the stick up your ass.
So I was just letting my mind wander this morning and I realized something. Adam and Eve, according to the Bible, ate the fruit of the Tree of Truth or something like that (two trees, Life and Truth, or something). God saw Adam covering himself up. God was upset because he liked oggling Adam's junk. God chastised Adam and kicked him out of Eden. Historians will have you believe it was a pear or something. Romanticists call it an apple for some reason, I think the KJV called it that.
But here's the thing: Adam and Eve ate a fruit from a tree. Not all fruits are like apples or pears or oranges or even bananas or figs. We never were told what kind of tree it was, just that it was the Tree of Knowledge or something. The other tree was the Tree of Life and it kept Adam & Eve alive for a long time, but God told them they shouldn't eat from the other tree.
Okay, think about that bit for a sec. Adam and Eve ate a fruit they weren't supposed to eat. As a result of eating that fruit, their perception of not just the world around them but of themselves was altered. It seems pretty obvious to me -- Adam and Eve ate poisonous berries and were trippin' balls.
Here's how I think God's conversation really went:
God: "Greetings, my little Adam. How are things down there on -- hey, why are you hiding your man-worm?"
Adam: "My fingers are rainbows!"
God: "Okay... Yeah, I think it's time for you to go now."
Adam: "Holy shit that sword's on fire!"
