Question
Without me asking for it or provoking it, I now have a following of fans who refer to me on social media as a ‘god.’ They have built a virtual cult around me. I have no control over the fact this is happening. And I have no way of communicating to these people at large that I don’t like this. It all started when I appeared on TV one time to promote a product I invented in an effort to sell it to earn a livelihood. This led to many more TV and media appearances. It’s been good for business, and in that sense, I have no regrets. The cult following is an unintended consequence that I find really disturbing.

Question
I am an orthodox Jew. I was raised orthodox (Chabad), I learn frequently, I practice consistently. Yet recently have been curious about Ásatrú ( a sect of Norse paganism) and have been dedicated to doing much research on it, slowly developing a connection to it. I am torn on what I should do about it. Do you have any advice?

Question
I would like to know how the jewish religion views Adam Eve's eating of the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Before eating the fruit they did not know that they were naked, nor did they know good from evil. In which case they were akin to the rest of the animal kingdom in their innocence. Why then did God punish them when they did not know what they were doing was wrong? Also, why didn't god want us to be self-conscious beings, ("man has become as one of us to know good from evil" as god put it)?
