On your first premise, I believe you're inferring original sin and you shouldn't inherit another problem? If that the case then I agree, however sinning (for simplification turning aginst God's will) isn't inherited, IMO. It's something we all do regularly (ie. I'm not paying for Adam's sin, but mine).
On the second premise, we don't act as God does. that's the main point of the Bible.
I don't consider myself wretched either, you're still viewing sin as the movie type evil guy with a big mustache twirling it, rather than a simple turning away from the laws written on your heart by God.
The sacrifice is in the suffering not the loss of life, that's a part of every human's path (I said it better in some other thread)
yes, it's all speculative we weren't there and don't know so I just have some goat herder's book to read on it, and I try not to take it too literally.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
