Operating as an allegory, the G.o.E. story divulges the basic information needed to ascertain the reason for us being in the state we find ourselves
in...basic, because, stripped of its snakes and satans et al...it describes an event in our far, far, far ancestral past where a simple error of
judgement was made...our reincarnated souls/spirits (whatever you want to call the Me of Me), unable to come to terms with making that mistake, very
early on...found a perfect scapegoat to blame our condition on...satan, devil, lucifer...whatever you want to call this created thought form...
Psychologically, attributing blame is a wholly convenient way of not taking responsibility...hence the continued debates over FREE WILL or no free
will, and all the ridiculously overcomplicated and useless arguments against it...
We all just need a group hug and a cup of steaming hot chocolate...and to get over the...I'M A SINNER CRAP...
The world would be a much better place if everyone just took it upon themselves to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your own predicament (vis a vis the
aforementioned conditions we are in).
This...'I met satan' story is an absolute crock of yaks dags...
Comprend?
