I think you are way ahead of the game, honestly. I'd recommend watching Monty Python's, The Life of Brian. It's not only hillarious, but it has a feeling of realism and agnosticism(sp) through the whole movie. The main statement is basically: as Brian quotes, " You don't need anyone!! We have the power to control our own lives. Who says we MUST listen to a messiah? Think for YOUR -SELVES!" and then the crowd replies " Yes, we must think for ourselves" and it shows the stupidity, or as you put it , the fall of man.
I believe the fall of man would be: People depending on others instead of believing in themselves, and having confidence that , however hard it may seem, the mass majority of people are RETARDED. Sorry if I seem to rabble on forever , but your topic really struck a cord with me. I just hope that some day people won't have to ask a mass majority of people how to live their own lives. |

Nobody can fool me like myself.
When people stop asking others to teach them ... growth will stop.
