During dinner, Frantisek and me were discussing Eden. I was a bit puzzled as to why god created the bad apple and told Adam not to eat it. Frantisek said God gave humans freedom to choose between 'to eat the bad apple or not to eat the bad apple', just like God gave humans freedom to choose to believe in Him, or not. The thing is, if there were no apple, then Adam wouldn't have to choose at all. Adam wouldn't need to exercise his freedom to make the choice of not obeying God because whatever he did would be God-abiding. Why is it the case that there has to be something that one can't do? Why did God tempt him? Am I missing something here? Must be. Someone smart must enlighten me.
Riddle for the day: A city in Czechoslovakia

I think the riddle is a trick question. Czechoslovakia doesn't exist anymore, there is only the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Therefore, no cities in Czechoslovakia.
About the apple... no idea. But remember that Adam ate the apple because Eve told him to, which shows that (a) women are evil; and (b) men can't think when they have a naked woman in front.
Hi Joanna,
What about the riddle? Luis found the solution already. So, the riddle is solved.
What about the apple? I'm not agree with Luis. It's stupid to call women evil and it is even more stupid when a man don't use his brain when he sees a naked woman in front of him. According to his thesis, he had probably a naked woman in front of him when he wrote his command.

You can turn it around too. How does the world look like when a human has no choice at all and exactly knows what to do next, because there is only one thing to do? In that world humans will live like animals. For example: a tiger has no choice. He has to catch the deer and he has to eat it. After that he is tired and has to sleep. After that he is hungry again and has to catch an other deer.
Choices give us creativity. Temptation give us movement. Choices and temptation together give us development. We always have to develop our knowledge. God wants that we are learning always. We can learn from our mistakes only. To make our mistakes we need to make choices. So, there must be a choice always!
Men can think when a naked woman is standing in front of them. They just think of that woman.

The naked woman hopes that the man is thinking of her. When the man stands in front of her and thinks of a naked woman, than he thinks of a other much prettier woman.
