Innocence and Ignorance


God created us as dumb animals, right? Until we ate from the tree of knowledge, we had sex, I honestly couldn't tell you if we even understood getting high, getting drunk we would have probably understood because eventually one, of the grapes in the garden of eden must have gone sour. In any case, I've digressed. The point is we were innocent and pure because we didn't know any better.

8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?"

10 He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."

11 And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

12 The man said, "The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it."

13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?"
The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."

These are the fruits of our knowledge. Organised religion tells us that things were better when we were stupid because we were PUNISHED for our sin of knowledge.

Did we ever get punished for anything else that happened in the garden that the "good book" mentions? It is a crime to be knowledgeable according to the very conception of our beings.

Jesus taught that he was the Messiah come to forgive us for original sin but it still happens today. We're not stupid again and we actually have entire institutions devoted to eating forbidden fruit.

Our goal if we are to truly follow God's desire for us is to be completely care free and retarded. Things would finally be the way he created us to be.

We may even be let back into his garden but then there may need to be an apocalypse for that to happen. The day they call the rekonin' in the South.

I'm sorry, I forgot where I was going with this... Apparently, I'm half way there.
1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "

4 "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Honestly, who believes a talking snake?

19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam [h] no suitable helper was found.

Cow, Duck, goose, poodle, dog, crap, shit, piss. A little crude maybe but all names that man's created for various objects and thoughts.

23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, [k] '
for she was taken out of man."

Ladies, see how smart your guy is, because you're his spare rib, you belong to him. God knows Adam wasn't the only man on earth... wait a minute..........

24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

Is god projecting here? The people who created you, you're supposed to leave as soon as you find a suitable broad... wait a minute, Adam and Eve don't have any parents and Eve is technically part of Adam so... like... Is Adam going to go **** himself now?

Seriously, God is telling children to leave their parents so he's telling Adam to leave him and forget about him to be with Eve. Does he care about us if he's kicking us out as idiots into a playpen where we have no idea what anything means?

We're like infants here and knowledge is our gain into adulthood but do we really want it? To begin with, it... was... PUNISHMENT. It still is punishment. We still have knowledge and we still understand burdens and decisions at some point in our life and some of us will definitely be crippled and lose and even die.

So if there is a god, we're all doomed every day we make a thought. Until you are living in the garden of eden you are still on punishment because you are not as god made you.

Maybe we had to have free choice and had to experience this life before we could come to appreciate what we can have. I would rather have known pain and be given a new life after this life is over than never have known any pain and not appreciate what a "good life" I have. I think that might be sort of what this part of our life is about. Maybe the pain is for a purpose, so that we might appreciate things to come... things that we could have never appreciated if it hadn't been for the existence of free will and sin and all that stuff.

I think after this life is death; cold, without meaning and eternal. These thoughts in the bible are good for those that cannot accept death because they yearn for the fairy tales to be true, however free will? pain? These are all things you will suffer without meaning and then you will die. The key is enjoying what you are given because there will be nothing else but silence.
