"The Original Sin" - First Scripture of Evil

And God commanded that Adam and Eve could indulge in any fruit of the Garden of Eden... Any other than the fruit from the 'Tree of Knowledge'. Said he "...for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." (Genesis 2:16-17 KJV). But the Snake overheard and he coaxed Adam and Eve into eating the fruit. He told Eve that if she ate the fruit, she would be like God, having knowledge of all things good and evil. (Genesis 3:5). When God discovered them, they were cast out of the garden and cursed.

THIS was the Original Sin. The fact that we wanted to learn... to be able to differentiate between good and evil ourselves.... this is what every church teaches Little Tommy, Harry and Jane. This is the noose that has been held in front of our faces for millenia. That we are guilty for wanting to survive, to gain knowledge, to judge. Why? Because judgement is evil... you should never jugde... when you are standing in the middle of a road, DONT JUDGE!!... all these sinners nowdays... when they drive a car on a normal highway, they make an average of 200 judgements every minute! Blasphemous! Without Knowledge, your churches would fall on your heads, your seats would be stones and your wafers would be nonexistent. Wine would be replaced by muddy water. DRINK UP! REVEL in your lack of Knowledge! The one without any Knowledge is respected...
"Ah, i am the fool from the gutter down yonder dirt track... bow in awe!!"
.... those who are capable and productive face divine retribution... at the hands of your average everyday paedophilic preist.

*GASP* "He dareth question, WHY??? That Blacksmith! What knows he of HIS great plans? What means he when he says "God doesnt make your spoons and your swords so why should i worship him?" ???? STONE HIM UNTIL HE REPENT FOR HIS SINS!!!"

Then the Blacksmith is told to produce more spoons and swords than before to make up for his misdeeds. The fun begins when the Blacksmith runs away and the village of Popeshire is left without anyone to make or mend their metalwares. Then they see the next productive person on the food chain and force him not only to work his mills but do his DUTY and work as a Blacksmith too!
Why? BECAUSE OF THE ORIGINAL SIN! We all hold GUILT for Adam's SIN!! So we must Sacrifice! What if i dont know the B of Blacksmith? LEARN IT! IT IS YOUR DUTY IN GUILT! But.. But I didnt do anything wrong!
...... so a few badly-made spoons later, the mills and smith furnaces are equally empty and the food chain moves a bit up again. Why cant a religion be based on the word EARN instead of SACRIFICE?

The Original Sin... A sin without volition bestowed upon all of us... the ultimate monstrous contradiction... that which is outside the possibility of Choice is outside the realm of Morality. If we are 'evil' or 'sinners' by birth, then we have no will... no power to change it. No will.. because we played no part in the descicion to be born evil or good. No power to change it... because the guilt is forced upon everyone around us and our children... and the only way it can be changed is by bearing the supposed 'guilt'... and who can measure guilt?
If we have no WILL, then we can be neither good nor evil... a rock is neither good nor evil... even if it is used to kill someone... neither is a robot... it is simply amoral.
To hold man guilty of a fact not open to his choice is to defile Morality. To hold a man's nature as his sin is to mock Nature. To punish him for a crime committed before his birth is a defacement of Justice. To hold him guilty in a situation where no innocence is possible is to burn Reason.
To simultaneously be able to destroy Morality, Nature, Justice and Reason with one single concept is a Feat of Evil hardly to be matched! And THIS is what we live by?!
Apparently, after eating from the Tree of Knowledge, we humans experienced 'sinful' feelings of greed, lust, anger, hate, vengeance and experienced for the first time.... death.
Why is all of this evil? Is it really? Why did this result from our gaining knowledge? Is ignorance bliss?
I'll explore those questions on another date.


"You are not born for a divine purpose... you are born to choose one for yourself, with your own mind..... you live to shape that purpose with your own hands.... to leave your mark on this world.... to write your own epitaph." ~ sayings of the Hellspawn
