Those nasty egals are advancing cuz they cheat! How can we get them to cheat less?

Give me a break!  When someone writes this type of non-argument, it means they have no better arguments.  What do the non-egals do?  They suppress dissent.  So they see this as what egals do.

I think it is important to see that what the woman says God said contains an ambiguous or partial truth.  There were 2 trees in the middle of the garden.  Which one is she referring to?  If she is quoting God, which one is God referring to?

And the important question is: Would God declare a sin of commission in an ambiguous way?
