        What God says is evil in the Bible is not in actuality evil, especially considering that the God of the Bible is evil.

            I mean, that is how the bible presents it. The tree provides the ability to distinguish between good and evil. It is a harmful oversimplification, especially when “good” and “evil” are undefined.

        So is evil defined by intention? Gay penguins aren’t evil because they aren’t choosing to be gay?

          Evil is defined by God (in Bible).

          So… being gay is evil, being disobedient to parents is evil, being Hindi is evil, and so on.

          It’s pretty detached from “evil” as it is known today (or then for that matter).
