    So interestingly, Gnosticism is basically a take on Christianity that makes Satan the good guy in the story for exactly this reason. He's essentially just trying to get people to think for themselves and question this despotic creator. The forbidden fruit in the Bible is said to grant "the knowledge of good and evil" so why the fuck wouldn't you want that?

    Someone who puts up an apple that gives you enormous bonuses and forbids you to take it, but also allows you to do it just like that, will just add something else if you don't fall for it.

    Actually, the banana will grant incredible sex, but it's forbidden too. As for the orange...
