Engaging with the text the way a believer does means having blind faith, which, as a non-believer, is difficult for me to do.

I think it's silly for a loving, forgiving God to curse anything, whether that's a single tree, or an entire country, or whatever else. I think it's totally valid to point out the hypocrisy of this allegory, regardless of what you think the subtext may be. It's an easy example to pull up that demonstrates a contradiction in the Bible, that's all.

Also I'm not dunking on anyone. I rarely talk to anyone about religion because it's such a sticky subject with so many people. Just trying to give some context and maybe a little justification for using this particular allegory to poke some fun at believers.
