That's just an observation of the human condition. We aren't perfect. We're victim to our natural desires, which are sometimes destructive. That's why people made sacrifices, to try and clear their consciences. You pay the debt you owe, and you can feel justified that you're a good person again.
I agree that we aren't perfect, but that isn't quite my point. I'm asking why would a god make an imperfect creation on purpose? It makes even less sense than the garden of Eden situation and that, my friend, is saying something.
What I'm also getting at is why do you think you need a saviour to pay for your, and your forefather's mistakes or "fallen" nature if there was no original sin to pass down.
