The Forbiden Fruit
Im not christian so i dont know, but in the story of adam and eve god created a paradise and let them live there, only telling them not to eat the forbidden fruit. more or less what i have always gotten out of the story is that it is human nature to sample that fruit and im pretty sure that fruit is bud, or sex

yeah right, the story of adam and eve is so stupid in my opinion. what kind of all knowing God creates a curious being only to tell them not to try something. obviously, if this God exists, is that we were destined to fuck ourselves over.
the forbidden fruit can be anything you make it really, after all it's most likely a metaphor, just like every other thing in the bible. it's so open to interpretation that it can be interpreted in any way you want it to, so really it's all up to you for what you to think. and if it really was eve who picked that "apple" and fed it to adam, then she's the coolest girl i know. she saved us from eternal boredom.

the fruit was the knowledge of good/evil. yeah, get that knowledge and your life will be full of woe and suffering and shit like that. very true. sticking your mind into dichotomy, sure to be full of frustration and judgement, leading to fear, anger, hatred, suffering, etc etc etc. though the lesson from the story i'm sure can be far too easily interpreted as "stay stupid and ignorant".... which it most definately not about, quite far from it in an extreme.
but please, do dispute my interpretation. its not something i've spent alot of time on. |

Seems to me that the story (and remember, it's a story) is saying...
If you want a blissfully innocent life, free from turmoil and pain (but also from self-realization and Nirvana) stay in garden, be like children, and all will be well. Not truly rewarding, but enjoyable, and simple. But, if you eat from that tree (more like mushrooms) you will open the floodgates of knowledge, a road filled with pain and anguish, suffering and self-doubt, etc. It's a one-way ticket, so take it or leave it. But there it is, anyway. In a truer sense, the whole garden of eden story seems to me to be an alucidation of the point in earth's evolution, where all the trials and effort eventually succeeds in creating a lifeform fit to carry a soul, to get on with the work of self-realization. The point where the ape becomes the man, and it is good. -mu |

Isn't it obvious it's telling us to stone women for eating apples? I think that's painfully clear. Grab your bibles and favorite judging stones!
