Obviously some people do want to go back there, or stay there if they're already there. That's the first lesson in Judaic and Christian scripture, and it's repeated in the Qu'ran: do not eat from the Tree of Knowledge. Faith, ignorance, and submission, are the preferred values.
True enough. The scary thing about Abrahamic religions is that they left in all the parts of their respective scriptures that allow slavery, segregation, rape, and a bunch of other things. Such lessons were hard learned for society:
We should not go around burning "witches" because they do not exist.
We should not go around enslaving people, period.
Women should not be forbidden from teaching, forced to wear veils, or treated "equal but different" because that is a euphemism for second class.
Consensual homosexual acts are not problems that society should concern itself with.
Some parts of the world haven't even learned these lessons yet. We can slip quite far, give an inch and they will take a mile.
