Why are we punished?

Why was Adam and Eve punished when it was God who allowed satan to be in the Garden of Eden? Was God hoping that satan would behave himself and wouldn’t try to do anything nasty? Before eating the apple, Eve didn’t know that she was making a wrong choice. If Adam and Eve didn’t know the right from wrong, how would they know that it was wrong to disobey God? God told them, “don’t eat from that tree“, but they didn’t know that it was wrong to eat from it. God just said “when you eat of it you will surely die”, why didn’t He say instead “if you eat of it you will be cursed forever” or something like that? A death may have been a much better option.

Well, let’s put it this way, bud: If God didn’t punish Eve (and subsequently, all womankind) with the discomforts of childbirth and menstruation, us DUDES would have to suffer through that.
So praise the Lord for coming up with that brilliant “apple” scheme and saddling womenfolk with the whole “baby” thing. Suckers!
