Originally posted by fable I think I prefer broccoli to cake. Not because the former is evil, but simply because of something deep down inside me. This brings up the whole issue of whether knowledge drives one to evil, or rather a kind of celestial predestination, like the relevant preference for broccoli. The question arises: are, then, the Luddites correct? Does technology corrupt? Or should we agree with the Calvinists, that corruption is inherent, and grace is given to the select few based upon an omniscent deity's prior awareness of who is, and is not, free from corruption?

Second...
It could be said that the idea's of evil or good are meerly just moral authority. Something in which we are not forced to follow with, given man being a beast and only through teaching shall he know of what is wrong or right. Say a tribal man of Africa would look at both cake and broccoli as sources of food, not good or bad food but just as a meal. Cake giving him small short burts of energy and a dry mouth, broccoli giving him a little more regularity. Neither being good or bad, rather just being. Evil is only an idea created by man's desire to prove to others that he is GOOD and therefor better than the other man. In history it was most likely the "evil" man who propgated that thier current foe was evil, with lies and trickery. While the foe may have been just that tribal man. Who knew nothing of good or evil.

So then, can you tell me who invented carrot cake? Honestly, don't people know a bad idea when they smell one?
