““Humans suffered the darkness of ignorance until the serpent introduced them to the light of reason and the bright illumination of knowledge and understanding. “God” sought to deny the transformative power of knowledge to humanity. The serpent, channeling the spirit of Prometheus, subverted God and gave humanity what it needed to liberate itself. Knowledge is power. Those without knowledge are powerless. God forbade Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge because he never wanted them to be free. They were to be his slaves forever, ignorant of what existence is and how it functions.””
