The Garden of Eden Allegory by James Mortimer

The Garden of Eden is the foundation of guilt-based religions

No wonder it is now used by some politicians to divide the world

Submission and atonement go hand in hand and facilitate government

The reason for the expulsion of the first humans from the immaculate garden

Was a woman’s curiosity that led her to biting the fruit from the tree of knowledge

On the advice of the serpent, one of her master’s own creations

How could we not draw the parallel between expulsion and sanction ?
