Can we be good without knowledge?
I was in an English class and this debate came up:
We were looking at Genesis in preparation for reading Paradise Lost and we were saying that by eating from the tree of knowledge, we could therefore have a choice to be good or not - but does this make us more good than we would have been if we did not eat from the tree of knowledge?
Because if we didn't we would not know the difference between good and evil and so couldn't choose to be good either?
So basically do you think we were good before eating from the tree of knowledge, or do you think we are good by choosing to be good over evil? If any of that makes sense at all lol
