Bloodthirsty? I don't know the mind of God, but when Adam sinned, and we also sin, the penalty of that sin is death. Before Adam sinned he wasn't subject to death. An offense against God is more serious than a sin against a person. That's why Jesus' sacrifice was so significant. He made the ultimate sacrifice for everyone who has or will live. He didn't have to. It was his choice.
Nice non-answer.
The penalty of sin is death? Bloodthirsty. This is the best justice your almighty could come up with? Not only is your god bloodthirsty, he's apparently fucking incompetent as well.
I will not see evil and injustice and call it just and good.
Your mileage may vary.
