Interesting. But not to be facetious, if one reads carefully, literally and critically the story of garden of Eden, one could easily asks “Okay, what is actually bad with eating the apple of knowledge? Everyone wants knowledge, right?” I have thought about this when I was a child. But I brushed it off because the church teach that the moral of the story is to follow god etc, or you will be punished. I guess the point of that story worked on me as I let go of that nagging feeling the it doesn’t add up. Religion discourages one from thinking critically even at the face of irrational and illogical inconsistencies; resulting in adopting a double think.
