I don't claim to be an expert on the bible but if I remember correctly there was this "tree of knowledge" whose fruits were not intended for human consumption.

Of course that's what the book says.... but the denial and subjugation of knowledge wouldn't seem to be an attribute of a loving God.

It seems more in keeping with the attributes of a tyranical shaman intent on keeping control.

Certainly not ;-)

Or, maybe, it is the commandment of a God who knew just how dreadfully and eternally destructive some knowledge would really be.

Maybe, God also wanted man to come to Him to seek his knowledge; for His glory. O the beauty and glory that Adam beheld when the Breath of God soaked into his empty body and he became a living soul, yet he sought his knowledge elsewhere.
