"We are not "held accountable", not by God certainly, for the sins of others."
Really?First of all Adam and Eve were tricked into disobeying God and since they were innocent as new born babes they did not know any better.And yes although we are not being held accountable for anyone's sin but our own based on the biblical story of creation it is not entirely true.We are being punished for the sins of Adam and Eve and because of this from the moment we are born we bear the burden of sin.
"God does not force us to love him. He loves us no matter what we do, and he wants us to love him. But love doesn't work by force. Every man is born with the right to death and the right to hell."
Honestly this biblical monster you call God does not give us much of a choice.It's akin to putting a gun to someones head and giving them the option to give up their wallet or die.
Frodo,I don't believe in the biblical god or any god or religion for that matter.I woke up and saw the bible for what it really is; a collection of plagiarized myths and legends mixed with some fabricated history.

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