Before eating the forbidden fruit they were innocent, they didn’t know the difference between right and wrong. God, being omniscient, knew they didn’t know better until the ate the fruit of knowledge but punished them anyway. He also punished the serpent for telling them the truth. He then expelled them from the garden to prevent them from eating from another tree that he hadn’t previously mentioned which would have made them immortal “like us”. Apparently, the God of Eden was just one of a group.
I would favor a draft for national service. It could be military or for domestic service in our parks or other projects similar to the WPA. I believe a year or two working with a diverse group of fellow citizens would help decrease some of the divisions in our country.
