The voice cackled. " Jesse, would you mind if I talk about Eden first?".
" Sure".
" Your pathetic God formed a man out of mud and stuck him in a perfect garden".
" The Garden of Eden".
" And then guess what your pathetic God did?".
" Formed a woman from the man".
" That is one of the craziest things I have ever heard".
" How did Eve's temptation come about?".
The voice cackled. " Your stupid God told the man he could eat from any tree except for the  tree of good and evil.
Jesse palmed his bible. " So how were you able to deceive Eve?".
The voice cackled with glee. " I simply said did your pathetic God really say you must not eat from any tree in the garden".
" So how did she give in to the temptation?".
" I said to her you will certainly not die". The voice hesitated. " For your stupid God knows  that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened and you will be like your pathetic God".
" That's why she gave in".
" Jesse, do you know what happened next?".
Jesse took a sip of coffee. " What?".
" They ate, their pathetic eyes opened and then guess what happened?".
" What?".
" They had the stupid nerve to try and hide from their pathetic God".
