Do you ever get disappointed that you live in this era?

The moral of the story is the fall of man, the consequences of that fall, and finally the retribution of a loving God. Things were great, we screwed up and have to suffer the consequences, and God made a way for us to get back to things being great again because He loves us.

Adam and Eve lived forever in paradise and walked in the presence of God until they they decided to do the one thing he told them not to do, eat from the tree of knowledge.

So in this story, knowledge is something to be feared and shunned.

I think that was Hoodie's point.

I never need to know what scat sex or anal rape feels like. In the same respect God doesn't want us us to experience everything because it isn't beneficial for us (as said in the Bible). He was protecting us from the knowledge of the consequences of sin. That is a knowledge we could have done without.

I could be wrong, but I don't think we want to devolve this thread into a religious debate.

Oops, missed this one.

Our curiosity and search for knowledge has led us to many terrible things: torture devices, biological weapons, and the like.

However, I can think of few ideas more abhorrent than the notion that the search for knowledge itself is something to be shunned.  It is very telling that in the Bible, the ultimate flaw of humanity that caused all grief and despair for the human race is... that we wanted to learn more than what we already knew.  Whether the mindset that we "already know enough" and "shouldn't be trying to learn more" persists in religion to this day is a question I leave to the reader.
