Why the whole Adam and Eve Fall story makes no sense

But, but, but,
without original sin, how does the rest of it work ??? I'm so confused now !!! The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
Adam and Eve did not know the difference between good and evil
They were then punished for committing evil
Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.
Yeah. That sounds like the foundation of a good ultimate moral authority.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Or just to mindlessly obey - I mean, is the "wrong" done here because they disobeyed, or because they gained the knowledge of good and evil)We are responsible for sin the moment we are aware of it. The tree of knowledge made us responsible for sin. Sin is Choice. Quote:and then banished them from the garden, before they could eat from the tree of life (that would give them eternal life) - after playing a game of hide and seek.And its never explained why that tree was there in the first place or what was the deal with the talking snake(most Christians would say it was Satan but it was never explicitly stated as such).God wanted us to have a choice in the garden as well as in life.

Yeah, some people will still try to say this stuff is literal. There was a literal garden, a literal flood, a literal tower, a literal exodus, and so on.

I've always found that the story of Adam and Eve makes much more sense when viewed as pornographic allegory.
The couple wandering round naked in the garden. That "garden" so full of lush vegetation, the "snake" that seduced Eve into "knowledge". The luscious "fruit" of knowledge leading to sin, etc, etc. Urrrhh, urrrghh, think I'll just go visit a few other websites ...
