>>4237566>when in reality the right choice all along was to allow divine union in Instrumentality --- which I'm not sure why you're equating with the Forbidden Fruit of Genesis --- and end mankind's suffering brought about by man's temptation and fall aeons ago from the state provided by God.Call it a man's understanding of suffering through emotions and his way of trying to get out of it. A man is born in sin therefore no man's doings are divine. Gendo wanted to obtain something divine through sin (resistance against the "Angels"). Therefore he has been tempted to do such thing, but the question is who is the incarnation of evil in NGE? Is it Yui that caused Gendo to lose it and create Demonic knights (EVA's to battle "Angels")? And gain the power of a creator to bring back Yui from the dead?
