"The essence of Christianity is told to us in the Garden of Eden story. The fruit that was forbidden was on the tree of knowledge. The subtext is, “All the suffering you have is because you wanted to find out what was going on. You could still be in the Garden of Eden if you had just kept your fucking mouth shut and hadn’t asked any questions.”"

I have been looking for a stable and free email service. I have had my yahoo account since 1991 and had to use a second email service from time to time. I have closed myself off from Google. I tried both Thunderbird/Mailfence and Proton Mail services and the "free" is for a one week trial. I will keep looking.
