Don't you think it's time God let go of this grudge he's been holding against the human race because of what one person did so long ago? Your God is incomprehensible, not because he is so complex, but because his behavior is illogical. To think that a God giving someone eternal torture because of the original man's actions makes sense goes beyond mere delusion and enters into the realm of extreme insanity. When you factor in the fact that God is supposedly omniscient, he becomes a character so completely ludicrous that I have an easier time believing that Darth Vader is real.
On another note, I thought that most Christians had realized that the story of Adam and Eve was so ridiculous that it could only be a metaphorical description for the inherent flaws of the human race. Then again, Christians never have been the greatest at determining what stories are so silly that they cannot be taken literally.
