Kingdom of Cain page 3 by ric gustafson
In the 17th Century, there was a story called ' Paradise Lost'. It was written by a poet named John Milton. In the story, Satan was a rebel angel. Satan was seeking freedom from God's dominion. In vengeance for his misery, Satan tried to destroy Adam and Eve.
George Gordon Lord Byron wrote a closet drama called ' Cain a mystery'. Byron's Cain is angry at God. To Cain, God was unfair to him. In the story, Satan takes Cain on a tour of the vast abyss of space. Satan shows Cain that God has dealt injustice. Satan shows Cain that God has unleashed a violent natural process that destroys as much as it makes.
From this vision, Cain is embittered and enraged. When God rejects Cain's sacrifice, Cain kills his brother.
Without God, there is no objective good and evil. That's life.
The knowledge of good and evil is a curse.
