Reply #2: Huh?

So a case of people with no concept of right and wrong being easily tempted into the 'wrong' action is analogous to people deliberately doing what they know to be wrong for fun?

I think you should re-read the bizarre story your Bible opens with. The deterrent to the 'bad behavior' was either a lie, or a metaphor for something, the consequences of which they wouldn't likely understand. The temptation was a statement of fact (subject to interpretation) coupled with another statement of fact--that eating the fruit would provide knowledge of good and evil. It was pure extrinsic motivation: Do this and you'll get a reward.

The 'bad behavior' wasn't for the sake of bad behavior--it wasn't understood what constituted bad behavior, and the motivation was extrinsic.

Simply put, your analogy is terribly constructed. It's so bad, I'm almost tempted to call it a straw man, but I'm willing to just call it amazingly inept.
