There are only three possible interpretations here:

1) God is a complete asshole, and man has to do whatever he can to destroy this heinous thing.
2) The Bible is lying about God, and your theory about death being a punishment for something that angered God a long long time ago is wrong.
3) God does not exist at all.
fourth interpretation: beachguy was making an obviously ridiculous claim because it's funny. anyway, it could be true, we don't know for a fact it isn't

it's an interpretation of the adam and eve story
