Banished from Eden
I was just reading the "Christians and the TFP" thread and I had a thought.
The story of Adam and Eve says (please correct me if I am mistaken at any point here) that a snake convinces Eve and, by connection, Adam to eat the forbidden fruit, which God told them specifically not to do. For this, Adam and Eve are pushed out into the world.
It seems to me that the Christian faith says that this is where it all went wrong. Even taking the story as no more than a story, I disagree. What would be the point of living forever if one was just happy and ignorant the entire time? Is life not for knowledge?
Why even bother if you're just going to be a sedated pet?
