Um, according to the story, didn't god create man? Did mankind find sin on another planet and bring it back here or something? I'm not following your logic.
Shell B, Tackattack has made it clear that sin is not having Gods will in your decisions. When God created the universe it was perfect there was no sin. Then Satan (Lucifer) defied God bringing sin into existance. The sin was not a part of the created universe at this point in time because God and the angels lived outside of the created phyisical universe and sin was contained there. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God (not having Gods will in their decision) they allowed the same sin that Lucifer had brought into existance into the created universe. With this ungodly will now part of creation it changed everything. Thus the need for God to become as sin and die a mortals death for our redemption. No wonder God was so upset with man but in His everlasting love He did what was best for mankind.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
