My reading of the story of Adam and Eve suggests that human experience becomes separated from God's created world (cast out from Paradise) once they draw distinctions of right and wrong (knowledge of good and evil). Now as we live in a time where violent conflict results from opposite insistences of what is good and what is evil, individuals are alienated from their cultures and institutions if they challenge the taught, practiced, and enforced values of good and evil that are the random inheritance of their birth circumstance. Our legal system even offers "knowing right from wrong" as the test for sanity. My question is: how do you address this first message of the bible; the paradox of societies that both war "righteously" against the others "evil"; and the authority of states and churches to define and teach values of "good", "evil", "right", and "wrong"?

What happens after death? Is life eternal? What about heaven and hell? Comment: NOT put on web, because answer already appears.

My reading of the story of Adam and Eve suggests that human experience becomes separated from God's created world (cast out from Paradise) once they draw distinctions of right and wrong (knowledge of good and evil). Now as we live in a time where violent conflict results from opposite insistences of what is good and what is evil, individuals are alienated from their cultures and institutions if they challenge the taught, practiced, and enforced values of good and evil that are the random inheritance of their birth circumstance. Our legal system even offers "knowing right from wrong" as the test for sanity. My question is: how do you address this first message of the bible; the paradox of societies that both war "righteously" against the others "evil"; and the authority of states and churches to define and teach values of "good", "evil", "right", and "wrong"?
