Eating fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil is the point where the human animal ceases to just live and thinks as well. Thinking is synonymous with taking a step back from fully experiencing. Hence the human condition, hence the need for religion. Smile

A need for religion?? You honestly believe that a woman ate a friut from a magical tree and BAM she suddenly has all this knowlege, this cognitive ability to understand things previously not understood? How is that logical?
And why would you want to take a step back from fully experiencing? Isn't that what life is all about? Experience?
