Quote by: Athena I don't remember the bible quotes, but know of them because I helped by grandson work on a paper about popular medival quotes and we happened on biblical quotes warning of the dangers of too much learning. It was fun to chose these quotes for the paper, because it was a school paper. However, we could start with Genesis and the idea that there is a fruit of forbidden knowledge. Like lets make knowledge of germs and the importance of sanitiation forbidden for a couple of thousands of years, but scare the hell out of people with fear of a punishing God. Then we could go on to all the rants about being decieved, and how Satan is the great deciever. And all that stuff that really has made Christians afraid of learning, especially learning about other religions, for thousands of years. But the quotes I wish I could find again are, about learning is bad for our nerves.

Erm...I can tell you right now that you're not thinking of stuff from the Bible. And no one in the Church takes the Adam and Eve thing as being against education. NO ONE. I can find you some verses about how being informed is a good thing.

Now, you can probably find some religious literature from different time periods saying something along those lines. If you're really lucky, you might even find where some cleric took a verse way out of context to make such a point. But the Bible does not say that. AT ALL.
