The Fall as Allegorical Fiction.

That knowledge is bad is some self hating jews idea that they were better off without the law, as ignorant as they may have been. "Noble savage" sort of shit. Wink Shades

I suppose, but later Jews would disagree. There's a reason that there are so many Jewish lawyers. The Talmud reads an awful lot like common law. Refining the law of the Torah by analogy has been a Jewish pass time for generations. It's a stupid set of rules to waste that much time on, but the lessons learned in doing it are well worth having.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
