[edit] Pedantry
Without trying to spark off an angry POV debate - this article says "according to the narrative..." rather than just explaining what happens. I appreciate trying to avoid writing in a "the bible is correct" POV, but that's not the point - articles about fictional characters on Wikipedia, after the words "is a fictional character in..." in the introduction, generally speak about events in the past tense without any further qualifications. Seems a bit inconsistent. Won't change it myself for fear of upsetting someone. Matt 13:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
in any caise, ine bible is not 100% fictional. Grace UMC Member (talk) 00:13, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Vegetarians in the Bible
I am wondering whether the Second Commandment "Thou Shalt Not Kill" should be applied to animals without further explanation present on this page. Declaring that the Second Commandment requires vegetarianism seems a little extreme, especially considering that earlier in Genesis, God created the animals of the Earth for the benefit of man.

- Regardless of that question, the text says that the fruit came from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Animal flesh doesn't grow on trees, so this theory seems dubious, and the editor doesn't cite any sources that support this claim. Miraculouschaos 14:05, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
No Thou Shall not kill is referring to murder. It does say in the Bible that certain animals- can be eaten —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carbuncle72 (talk • contribs) 03:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Streisand Effect - The link between that article and Forbidden Fruit is so far-fetched we have to invent a whole new word for far-fetched. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashrawi (talk • contribs) 20:21, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
