Thank the Devil for Civilization

What would have happened to humanity if Eve had not eaten the apple in the Garden of Eden?

Would we still be wandering around naked, stupid and at the beck and call of our 'creator'?

"The Ophites were a sect who, like most Gnostics, regarded the Jehovah of the Old Testament with great abhorrence.

Regarding the emancipation of man from the power and control of Jehovah as the most important end, they considered the serpent who tempted Eve and introduced 'knowledge' and 'revolt' into the world, to have been the great benefactor of the human race.

They worshiped the serpent, and sought to engrapht Ophism upon Christianity by causing the bread designed for the Eucharistic sacrifice to be licked by a serpent which was kept in a cave for the purpose, and which the communicants kissed after receiving the Eucharist."

The very word hermetic means the hidden knowledge of magic, occult sciences, etc. Not only was the serpent worshipped by the ignorant pagans as "The Great Benefactor" for mankind, the serpent ironically enough was worshipped also as "The Great Enlightener."

What did Satan say to Adam and Eve besides, "Ye shall not surely die?"

In Genesis 3:5 we read: "FOR GOD DOTH KNOW THAT IN THE DAY YE EAT THEREOF THEN YOUR EYES SHALL BE OPENED, AND YE SHALL BE AS GODS, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL."

So, Who's your Daddy???
