choices : religion : WHAT IF SATAN IS "EXCEEDINGLY SUBTLE" INDEED?

[+] serious ballot by xxxxxxxx
created Wed Jul 06, 05
It has occurred to me that the story of Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden has a possibly terrible implication for modern Christians.

Consider: What was the only thing forbidden in the Garden of Eden? To eat of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, right? Disobeying this command of God resulted in the banishment of the original couple from the Garden.

Now, what business is it that religion and churches are in today? Exactly: good and evil. Forbidden by God. All the while, these pious folk are convinced that they are doing God's bidding. Are they? Hmmmmmm. Or is the Serpent, indeed "exceedingly subtle?"

Let me know what you think.

Yes, the church folks are being deceived
No, after the Fall, the rules and definitions were changed
Hmmmmm.
What's on the tele, eh?
I think you huff paint

COMMENTS:
Does this imply that religion as an organisation is the devils work? If there was such a being i`d have to agree with you.

^Just a fascinating thought. Good and evil are defined as forbidden to man for a number of possible reasons, not the least of which might be the necessity for a dichotomous reality to support it (i.e., life and death, right and wrong, et al). Hence, to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil means that you will "surely die," because a world of opposites is necessary for good and evil to exist.

Damn, I twist my own mind here.

And, again, what business is it that religion and the churches are in? Sin, good and evil. Forbidden by God. Why? Might be that it brings suffering and death into mankind's existence.

This will not be good news for the churchies if they realize that they might well be being gulled by the Bad Boy.

The whole business is rubbish, but it's entertaining to twist some of it around.
