> For such a forgiving God, he certainly seems to hold a grudge.
Someone only read the first part of the book.
Forgiveness didn't involve the punishment of painful childbirth, apparently.
I was raised by a Catholic deacon, I've read the Bible front to back and maintained top marks in my religious education classes. I have a firm understanding of what kind of deity Christians worship.
By someone do you mean the women enduring childbirth still? Did we forget to tell them all was forgiven and the punishment was withdrawn?
