    But god is the ultimate dick. He created everything and decided to torture us. He could have just created us as he wanted but he didn’t and then he fucks with us as a result of what he made us. That is some fucked up psycho shit.

      The more I think of it I think it would be cool if there was a myth in the vein of Satan about an angel that stood up to God and tried to be an actual good and just steward of humanity.

          The knowledge of good and evil is also what let us rise above simple base instincts.

          Given the choice between blissful ignorance, and the ability to improve, I would take the latter every time. Even with its costs.

            Also, god didn’t have to create a tree that grows fruit that would give the only two humans in existence that knowledge.

            It makes no fucking sense.
