[While Crowley is putting a certain photo on Castlenet, he notices a piece of paper jammed under the keyboard. He reads it and finds it decidedly weird enough to write in his journal]
Just because you're not aware of the goodness or the badness of your actions, doesn't make the action any less good or bad.
You could certainly say that you didn't know feeding your spouse a poisoned fruit was evil, but it doesn't stop it from having a negative impact. Isn't that what makes something a 'sin'? Whether or not it is for the betterment of the species?
But saying something is so and it actually being so are two different things. Without knowledge of good and evil, humans are like young children, only going by what they're told, the big finger in the sky shaking and saying 'bad'.
Yes, but when a child is told something, and given a reason why they should or should not do it, they are still held to blame when they go ahead and do the opposite of it.
And I believe that the two children we're talking about here were told what would happen if they didn't listen, weren't they?
