And last but certainly not least: the devil is really the ego, which creates the illusions of duality and separation. Get rid of the ego, realize we are One and you've killed the devil.

Getting rid of ego? You are mistaken sir. Ego is not to be get rid off, but nurtured and understood, it is the thing that keeps you alive and safe. The point is: not to be controlled by your ego...that's a whole 'nother thing....
It was more to do with the commandment that God have giving them then fruit itself. Disobeying God commandment is a sin and sin itself is evil. All the fruit had done, is give them awareness of what going on around them. Because both of them realize that they were both naked.

Both Adam and Eve already had the knowledge of good and evil before they ate the fruit. When God give them commandment not to eat the fruit, he were seeing if they will obey him or not. He was doing this cause Satin bet him that Adam and Eve will disobey him, even if they knew that they will die. Satin thinking that Adam and Eve will die as so as they had ate the fruit, went and convinced them in eating the fruit.
uhmmm dosnt the fruit represent knowledge? Knowledge of good and evil... so why keep them away from it if they all ready had it?

If you look at ego as being the self's way of describing the self, and not defining then you work out much better in life and the negatives don't become the groundpoint of the focus.
