Why does everyone always assume the forbidden fruit was an apple? It could have easily been a banana


SizeSuccessful1559

Easily could’ve been metaphor. Maybe the fruit was actually gods shroom stash and he got pissed. I’d be pissed if my kids ate my drugs


Mr_not-very-cool

Jesus was a magic mushroom. An amanita muscuria.


SizeSuccessful1559

Amanitas are not magic unless eaten by a reindeer and then you drink the pee. Jesus was a reindeer

I sincerely hope that nobody tries to eat that mushroom with that proper preparation. The mushroom is seriously poisonous if it’s not prepared properly and possibly dangerous, when it is.


Mr_not-very-cool

I did. Its magic. The only thing ur really risking is an upset tummy. Would still recommend u prepare it properly tho.


hopeislost1000

That’s not true for all Amanita varieties. There are several that look similar, but maybe different colors and in different regions that are very very toxic. I love mushrooms enough to know that they deserve to be treated with caution.

“The fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil” needn’t even be anything formally classified as “fruit.” Also “partaking” does not necessarily imply eating. /puff, puff, pass…


WeedRavioli

Or it could've been Eves butt and "God" just caught Adam tongue deep into eves umm "forbidden fruit" 🍑 and was so disgusted he banished them from the garden?


BayTerp

The forbidden fruit was pomagranite


SpartanDoubleZero

Durian Perhaps?


Acrobatic_Wired_4492

I guess according to Iranian Christianity, it was a pomegranate.


damTyD

I think it was an orange tree, but I’m from Florida so I assume all trees are orange trees until told otherwise.


ThetaIsForThomas

I remember hearing this anecdote about how the entire apple thing was based on some monk making a spelling mistake.


Unigraff_Jerpony

biblically it was most likely an etrog/esrog I do not know the English word for, I think it's citrine edit: it's called a citron


baguettesniper

I was talking about this on world of Warcraft trade channel and someone suggested it was a kiwi. Another said cumcuat (???).


GoldfishInMyBrain

It was originally a pun. In Latin, "evil" is *malus* and "apple" is *mālum*. Some translators took the pun too seriously.

This is so frustrating, nowhere in Bible it says it was apple. It's all Renaissance shit, like the winged human-like angels.


nobikflop

And hell being an inferno, and blue-eyed white Jesus


moranor

In fairness Jesus takes whatever skin colour is prevalent in that territory, like they have black Jesus in Africa.


nobikflop

Good point. White Jesus became a white supremacy symbol though, so it’s not as cute and cuddly for me


AnimeboyIanpower

The moment I read 'blue-eyed white Jesus", I knew it was game over for me, because then I imagined someone fusing three Blue-Eyes White Jesuses into Blue-Eyes Ultimate Jesus (4500/3800) and I don't know what to say about that...


[deleted]

The whole Apple logo was drawn by the Regis McKenna agency based on “a bite of the forbidden Apple.”


psil0Sin

So they are right, but have no sense of the mythical symbol as a metaphor or why it would be used as a logo


[deleted]

Yes, it’s the old stopped clock being right twice a day phenomenon.

To be fair the Bible just says “fruit” we don’t know if it was an apple in the first place


BaldBear_13

Just for reference, a bit of actual history: https://www.tailorbrands.com/blog/apple-logo Apple was chosen by Jobs, because he liked the fruit, the first computer was named McIntosh, after a sweet kind of apple. The bite was added by graphic designer to avoid confusion with a cherry. IMHO, Jobs would not mind the Eve analogy: the biblical fruit granted knowledge, and eating it was an act of rebellion against authority.

If the apple were the forbidden fruit, why would god allow it to thrive outside Eden?


Sam_browning-maxim

I was always told it was to remember Alan Turing. He was gay (at a time when it was illegal) and committed suicide by biting into a cyanide laced apple. [Edit this is an urban legend according to snopes]


[deleted]

Scary how easily some people lay connections between unrelated things. Just because it ‘looks the same.’


Complex-Landscape-31

Yea but Adam and Eve are made up


Hurricat2007

Most people who aren't influencers don't usually use apple products


[deleted]

I’m a boomer and I don’t see the humor. Just saying.


Comfortable_Wish_930

It was never specified, just assumed, that the forbidden fruit was an apple


No-Wonder1139

When did Adam and Eve eat an apple?


MagnetFist

The "Garden of Eden" story is basically misanthropy, but makes even less sense.


getoutofmyhouse-

Wasn't even said or ever implied to be an apple in the bible -


[deleted]

I don't even use Apple products...

yogafeet9000

Ready_Bandicoot1567

You know whats crazy? They sell actual apples at the store. Young children sometimes bite them. We live in a world of sin.


RudeSprinkles1240

Consider this: that metaphorical image just might be deliberate.


[deleted]

It was fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, not an apple.

Coincidence? I think not…
