This is the gnostic interpretation. It is the real truth of the story.

Being told to stay in ignorance is the command of a petty god. Every time a child in Sunday school is scolded for asking a question that the 'adult' cannot answer, they become a reflection of the demiurge. The urge to rule over ignorant followers. The urge to bend other people to your unjust will.

Because of small mindedness and dogmas from both sides. Petty men that want to feel the thrill of bending children to their will, but without the character to justify their respect.
