Volker: Did you reason your way to that, or did you experience it?

Yep! All the things that are now bad for you, will become good for you.

What if they already are good, only we can't see it or understand it, why it is so?

If I were god, I would give to each human, the ability to stand alone, remove the need for fear of the unknown...and then set about improving on the crappy assed job of design I did in the beginning. Talking snakes? WTF was I thinking?

Errr....what if I was talking about cocaine and heroin, unprotected (promiscuous) sex, and excessive quantities of ice cream?

As with most things, the golden middle path seems wanted.

Nothing is so bad it is not good for something


If we consider those things as being bad, while knowing(in this experiment) that it is good, then teh conclusion is of course that our POV is flawed.


No food = death
Adequate food = Life
to much food = death

Anything good can turn evil, if it is taken to much.

"Judge not lest thee be judged" I wonder why this was important?

It's probably important in that it holds the lesson that if you don't want people to talk about you behind your back; or poke fun, or make accusations at/about you - then don't do it to others, 'cos it'll only end in tears. ie: If I run around saying so and so is a bitch from hell, then chances are it is I who will come across as the bitch from hell, and may well wind up being publicly exposed as such. It's just one o'them understanding of human nature and social dynamics type thingies. Not particularly "deep", and no gods are needed.

But I digress....
