why did he steal the pear?

It was an excuse to get his parents off his back, he was an asshole who wanted to lord people around and Christianity offered him exactly what he wanted while his public diary showed his sociopathic attitudes in a good light for gullible idiots. If there's a man who's responsible for the cultural and social stagnation of the west in the middle ages it's none other than him.

Because he and his friends used to delight in evil for its own sake, as he said. This is, of course, the way original sin works in man, as it is the separation from original justice: we know the good, and know even that we ought to love it, but we do the evil and love it.

Mmm sweet pear, filled with bright sun of Africa and water from ancient irrigation channels, uniting them in her womanly shape, with rosy face of a virgin, filling your mouth with her nectar after you finally take her maidenhood with your teeth.

How would stealing pears and giving them to pigs later get his parents off his back?
