solarwave said: "I don't believe we are punished because of Adams sin. Think that it should be seen as a sinful tendency that everyone has. We are judged by our own actions not our fathers. There are verses in the Bible which say this."
Although there are passages in the bible that say that the sons will not be punished for the sins of their fathers the bible does have passages recognizing that we are being punished for the sins of Adam.
Romans 5:12-14,18,19
12.Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13.(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14.Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
18.Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
19.For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
