a spot of religion

honestly i'm not sure what led me to this train of thought but here i am. the topic is adam and eve and their expulsion from eden.what if thwey were expelled from the garden asan act of mercy rather than the punishment people seem to see it as. how can denial of paradise be an act of mercy you ask? well think about it, they only got kicked out after they ate fruit from the tree of knowledge and then were ashamed of their nakedness and hid. don't you see?!? Ignorance is bliss so had they not eaten from the tree they would have lived in blissful ignorance for the rest of their lives, but after gaining knowledge for how much longer do you suppose they would have been happy to stay in the garden knowing that there was a larger orld out there that they would never experience? stone walls do not a prison make nor iron bars a cage. how long would it have been before they began to resent being kept like animals in a zoo? true they had everything they needed but they would never have a free life. so forseeing their eventual unhappiness they were cast out of the garden to live their lives.
