Your superb post Encouraged me and got me thinking.
Adam and Eve were essentially sleepers, living in a light-filled world, unaware of the reality of the devil. God wanted to spare them that awareness. Eve decided to eat the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The Apple was essentially a red pill. Then Adam and Eve woke to the darkness within and without them. As we did!
Something drove Adam and Eve to seek Knowledge though they were perfectly happy being sleepers. Our humanity causes us to want to Know. We must trust that our fellow Americans, in vast numbers, will want to know. It’s what we DO with that Knowledge that matters. We must repair the relationship with our God. We must choose to be Good. We must trust our fellow man. We are stronger than we know.
And we must crush the head of the serpent — and his followers.
