So if Eve didn't eat of the fruit (I've gotten so much shit when I said apple, fundies don't like apples) she gained new knowledge, but didn't know what to do with it. God, being the merciful being he is, threw them out instead of teaching his children how to reason. Because that's what a good parent does. Not to mention sacrificing his son for all our sins, yet still punish newborn babies who die without being baptized because they are tainted with the original sin.
Not to mention, if you can make a tree grow with all knowledge, isn't it crappy programming not to give the consumers a guide how to use their upgrade? Instead of a fruit that makes you think in the extremes, why not make a nice fruit that gives you the ability to reason and think in grey tones?
well i think that religion teaches us that knowledge is bad for this two reasons:
1. if everyone would be stupid there would not be any wars
2. if everyone would be stupid we would blindly do what our masters would told us to do (a perfect weapon for governments)
