Pickup.. Of course that's what it teaches. Why would anyone do it otherwise? Christianity teaches that it's in our nature...what's your alternate explanation? Other solutions are:
Accept your imperfections (humanism etc)
Punish yourself/make sacrifices (other religions)
Christianity's answer:
Grant direct access to perfection
Sure people fail all of the time. Critics cite that as reason not to try. Throwing the baby out with the bath water.
How and why the hell wouldn't you want to accept this best solution?
While setting a high standard is good, standards that are impossible to reach are worthless. I don't feel the need to beg forgiveness for not being able to do something that's impossible to do.
I find no evidence that your god is perfectly good. While you may call him sinless, that doesn't mean much when sin is basically things he doesn't like. If no one can force him to do things he doesn't like, it's easy to be sinless. That doesn't mean he's good in the eyes of everyone else.
