I asked this yesterday, no one caught what I was asking.
Tree of life in christian mythology is symbolic of Jesus
Romans, they are pagans (not atheists), but they crucified jesus, with a hammer and a nail, on the mount calvary.
So, now that you all have the explanation of the words and metaphors,
What happens if an Atheist (or a Roman) chops down the Tree of Life (or Jesus) in the Garden of Eden (or Mount Calvary)?
Does the question make sense now?
Please, your thoughts.

There is a point beyond which the effort is no longer worth it.

I believe your metaphor does not work for several reasons. First being that the account of Genesis was written ages before the accounts of the Christ. Secondly the Tree of Life and Jesus respectively served different purposes. The first was to induce the fall of man, while the latter was to raise him back up (metaphorically of course).
To attempt to answer your question however i will offer this. You've hit on something quite true here that these 2 symbols in effect are the cornerstones of Christianity. Without one the other is meaningless, there must be a fall to need a redemption. If one or the other is taken out of the equation Christianity ceases to have meaning. Is this what you are looking for?

First it isn't the tree of existence that's the tree of information. If that would have passed off ( it may no longer anymore because of the fact the tree now no longer exists) then the atheist might have time-honored all there is to understand approximately God and stable and evil. while Adam and Eve ate from the tree their eyes have been opened to sin. They have been in fact advised that in the event that they ate from the tree they may well be like God and not lowly human beings serving him. i do no longer see have been there may well be a distinction between ingesting from the tree or reducing it down.

Well, the xians already believe that happened and a bunch of old jewish dudes wrote an annoying book about it. In their mythology, the person who did the chopping would go to hell, unless they asked for forgiveness and became a follower of Jesus or the tree. I prefer my prior answer to this question.

No I dont't know what Christian mythology you thinking of but there are no sermons that I go to where the Pastor is yakin about the tree of life bein' Jesus. The Romans had to crusify Jesus to fufill the prophecy, but the Athiests would burn in hell.

Don't waste your precious life living in metaphors. Step away from the computer and find yourself a real life.
Better yet, why don't you ask the Pope! He has the best insight and a direct line with God!

*yawn* then life would've continued as it is now. No difference. I don't see what point you're trying to prove.
The tree of life was blockaded by God, and returned by Jesus, through the spilling of His blood.
If the tree of life is cut down, easy-pickings eternal life is gone. If Jesus Christ is cut down, eternal life comes back.
And, no, your question doesn't make sense.

In the beginning in the garden of Eden ,Adam should of kicked eves *** and burned the tree of good and evil.Then no one would of died and lived forever in Paradise eating from the tree of life.Right up to this day I see you all are still eating from the tree of good and evil,burn it down within before it becomes to late.No atheist could ever reach the tree of life in the Kingdom of GOD.For when mankind broke Gods holy word by FAILING TO LIVE IN WORD OF GOD.On that day God put holy fire before tree of life,so they couldn't reach and pick the leaves of that tree,that granted those who did ever lasting life.If you cut down the tree of life ,all that is life,living through life shall die d=4 i=9 e=5 comes to 18:6,6,6
