    But god is the ultimate dick. He created everything and decided to torture us because of it. He could have just created us and made us perfect but no. He created us as imperfect and decided to play games with us because… he is bored I guess?

          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.
